Guess I'm bored, need screws for trike.

[CrystalPistol]

There are 6 of those Chromed plastic caps (snap caps) on my trike that I usually end up regluing the snap caps back in place with silicone as they "fall off" … I am thinking I might just get some button headed socket screws in stainless steel to replace them with. Chuck the screws in a drill to polish the heads, no more gluing or snapping snap caps on & off, or rather "off & on" I guess? I'm thinking a 6mm. Maybe just some Philips head screws?

This may help. I used them for my TriGlide. Especially for the screws that strip out on the Derby cover.

The belt guard on my Slingshot was a black plastic and i painted it red to match the red body....And so i also painted the heads of the screws which were black red to match...

I go to Fastenal to get my screws, lots of the time they have to order them because they are small potatoes in this town, but, the only place you can order in lots less than 100 or less than $100 order.

I get 6 mm x12mm for about $8. for a bag of 100 or buy individual screws for about a nickel each and the local hardware store.

I'm jealous, our Fastenal store shut down!

I have good luck at ACE Hardware finding metrics. Some even have chromed screws.

Got 20

They come today, 20 of them, M6-1.0X25mm Button Headed Socket Screws in steel. The head looks like it has a washer, but that could be easily reduced in the drill press. They'll look great polished up too I think. 25 mm thread is pretty near an inch at 0.98425", so enough to trim for other uses too. I ordered these back when I made this thread. Head is 4.5mm tall, has a 4mm hex. Since ordering I realized I have a few other places they'll come in handy for.
