Members BEARDOG Posted December 8, 2013 Members Report Posted December 8, 2013 OK I just bought my first batch of Pull the dot snaps for IWB loops, and now need to order a box of screws that have heads that will fit down in the stud part and will it allow the snap to function properly. It seems that I am going to have to use a 6-32 T nut and use 6-32 undercut flat head screws. Is this correct? What hardware are you guys using with the Pull The DOT snaps? Thanks! Quote
Members chiefjason Posted December 8, 2013 Members Report Posted December 8, 2013 #6 x 3/8 flat head phillips machine screw. Yes, it's 6/32. But that's how my local hardware store orders them for me. Just like this one. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/details/1172621;jsessionid=lJphSkkQdvGySBNT9qZtYq3ppVRJgXnn1hFtSBLpwd121bXwL9ll!1425370175!-923587657?isPunchout=false Quote
Members BEARDOG Posted December 8, 2013 Author Members Report Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks Chief, I just wanted to confirm that others were using #6 for them. I have been using all 8-32 hardware with a little "machining" to the heads, but the PTD snap stud is much shallower then the standard snap stud and I want to get away from fooling around making the hardware fit. I would have preferred staying with the #8 size for strength, But will just order new #6 hardware for the new PTD snaps. I am going with a undercut head so I have as much clearance as possible Quote
Members J Hayes Posted December 8, 2013 Members Report Posted December 8, 2013 McMaster Carr sells the #8 in stainless with an undercut head, works perfectly for me on my PTD. 8/32x3/8" p/n 91099A260 Phillips flat undercut machine screw. They also carry t nuts but I got those from Steel marine fastener I believe. Quote
