The head diameter on that screw is too big. I need a 4 mm screw with a head diameter around 6.5 mm. I am not sure what the countersink angle is. Looks closer to 100 though.

If it is not 90degr., then it is not likely to be a metric screw! Just because the Blanik is from Europe doesn't mean that the hardware they used on that glider is metric. My Caproni was made in Italy and it uses all imperial sized hardware. Uli 'AS' |

The empty package says 4 mm and a 4 mm screw from the hardware store screws in perfectly. Sooo I am guessing it’s a 4 mm screw....

That head diameter is totally unrealistic; it should be about twice the shaft diameter. Grind the head down if you want it less, but you will have a very small shoulder as a result. Tom |

Fairey Long-range Monoplane pics 2 [4/9] - Like the first machine, it is fitted with a Napier Lion engine. Refinements have been added to this second machine, such as the spats over the undercarriage wheels.jpg (1/1) | Miloch | Aviation Photos | 0 | January 6th 18 04:31 PM |
