Ion grip screws

[Arkitech]

Looks like 2 have come out after they where replaced by low profile grip screws this weekend.

does anyone know the type etc and could i get this at any general hardware store?

i have looked in the manual but all it says is 6-32 grip screw, when i asked if this one shop heard of 6-32 screws he looked at me funny

cheers

6-32x3/16" button head phillips or hex head

The first number (6) is the pitch diameter for that particular thread (this is one of the diameters of the screw, don't worry about which one in specific).
The second number (32) is the number of threads per inch.
The last number (3/16") is the length of the screw threads. To convert this to a decimal, just run the fraction through a calculator.

That should help, or just order a set from a shop, I use an iron mongers, I hand them a giant list and get what I want, but I do have one a couple of miles away!

my promaster has computer screws for the grips (had no spares around) but as im into computers also had A LOAD of computer screws, so just was like "I wonder.." and they fit fine so all gurd

Same as above for me, except i thought to myself ... would they fit because the extra bit of 'lip' type thing on them would hold into the grip nice and i wouldnt loose them lol

balf - you don't happen to know the sizes of the body/frame screws on the ions as well do you?

i know they are 10-32 (and the front is a flat headed sunk screw), but lengths?

 

[balf]

10-32 x 1" button head, 1/8" hex socket

I'm too good to you all

Don't know the size using the socket head but it means you just have to keep one screw for your frame rather than 2 different types
