Garmin Swivel Bracket Thumbscrew

[Redfox226]

Hi

Stupidly lost one of the thumbscrews from my swivel bracket like this:

~£20 seems a bit steep for 1 thumbscrew - does anyone here know where I may be able to buy a single one?

You could cast a new epoxy head around a bolt. My new B&G plotter came without the thumbscrews to attach it to the bracket. The cost of replacements was absolutely outrageous, fortunately I managed to persuade the supplier that they were not in the box.

I normally keep these in stock for such occasions, available in 5mm & 6mm thread, sometimes need the thread shortened but very cheap and decent quality.

Thanks David, excellent link. Can see I'm not the only one (with dropsy fingers) then!

Found some nylon ones on e..y which I'm going to try (at £3.80 for 12) - if they don't work I'll use your link Ta.
