Metric aircraft countersunk machine screws
Does anyone have a source for metric aircraft countersunk machine screws? Similar to MS24693S28. They need to be aircraft hardware store screws have the wrong taper on them. This is for Blanik L-23 & L-33’s.

This is for Blanik L-23 & L-33’s. US-standard countersunk screws have a taper angle of 82degr. or 100 degr. vs. a metric screw having a 90degr. taper angle. Is there a DIN or ISO standard specified by LET? If so, McMaster Carr carries them but I am not sure how an aircraft standard plays into that. Uli 'AS' |

Well it’s not DIN 965. That’s pretty much what you find in a hardware store.

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' |
