Turns out the nearside screw hole is fubared , screw just drops in .....other side is better Thankfully !
must taken a long time to get like that
i would naturally assumed the machine would be harder than the screw
i bought these exact ( im in UK ) , they dont fit
- that was when i went to specialist nutn bolt store who have a great rep for getting what you want
Thanks all for replies !
Hi
hope this is right section
is there anything special about needleplate screws ..?
iv been to specialist nut n bolt shops but the ones come away with are either not the right thread - or possibly the thread they are going into is fubured ...
Either way. the head is too big .Should be 6mm
TIA
