zaskar new poster Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 29 Loc: Toronto, Ontario	Just wondering if anyone would be interested in Stainless Steel Screws for the front of their unit to replace the black ones. There are exactly the same just stainless steel. If enough people want them i will go to where i got them and get the pricing, as i only got 8 and they never charged me so i have no clue how much they are. Derek

Sounds like it would add a nice sort of highlight. Care to share where you got them from? _________________________ _____________________________ *It's getting to be ri-god-damn-diculous.*

They are a totally stndard size so you can get them almost anywhere that sells bolts I have had stainless ones for the past year. _________________________ P.Allison fixer of big engines Mk2+Mk2a signed by God / Hacked by the Lord Aberdeen Scotland

snoopstah enthusiast Registered: 07/01/2002 Posts: 339 Loc: Squamish, BC	Anyone got a piccy? I'd like to see what this looked like, and also, if poss., a supplier in the UK, or the specifications (length, thread) that I'd need to look for. Many thanks, A. _________________________ Empeg Mk2a 128G with amber lit buttons kit - #30102490 PhotoVancouver \| Squamish, BC Webcam \| Personal Website

maczrool pooh-bah Registered: 13/01/2002 Posts: 1649 Loc: Louisiana, USA	In reply to: Sterling silver would be too fragile if you turn them to much they will snap. Yeah, but you're not supposed to tighten those bolts very much anyway. Brass screws abound, as do aluminum, although not in hex bolts, it does show that soft metals can be used for screws at least. Certainly sterling silver would hold up equally well. Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!

If you tighten your screws enough to snap them (even Sterling silver ones) then they are so tight that chances are your buttons will no loner work. Those fascia screws are only a little bit more than finger tight. tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"
