Imperial Interscrews

[Dino]

Hi, I’m about to refurbish and reseal some windows on my boat. The windows are secured to the superstructure with 3/16ths inch stainless countersunk bolts and zinc/nickel plated Interscrews on the inside. These are 1/4 inch diameter.
Can anyone recommend a supplier for these? I am hoping to reuse most of these but I would like some spares just in case.
Regards,
D

Speak to JP at Hadlow Marine... His website shows only metrics, but he will undoubtedly be worth a conversation. Only speaking as a very satisfied customer

Try Allcap in Gloucester. They identified the originals which I think my have been 2BA.

Fairly sure mine are 2ba, but it's a while since I did my windows. There are some stainless ones on eBay.

I used Jean at hadlow for new windows for my jeanneau sundream but the interscews he supplied were no good for the design of the windows. (aluminium frame inside and acrylic outside. side windows are 6mm acrylic the front is 12mm) also there was no slot to get the torque on them, in the end these were the closest match to the originals -

A4 bolts on the outide and these A2's on the inside onto the frames.

the type Jean at hadlow provided-

but the general work Jean provides is excellent and hes a nice guy to deal with. also does hatches.

I have the great delight of visiting

westwardropeandwire.co.uk

often. An Aladdin's cave of stuff for men. I am sure they will have what you need.

Personally, I'd move to metric.

Thanks for the info folks. I may move to metric as there is only a very small difference in the hole size. However, my boat has hundreds of these so I don’t really want to mix things up.

I was faced with the same problem a few years ago, and having searched high and low could find the screws, but not the interscrews (or was it the other way round?), in imperial, and ended changing the whole lot to metric (obtained from Hadlow Marine).
