Jabsco Cover Plate screws

[Graham_Wright]

I dropped one!
I measure the thread at 7/32" Whitworth (in case anyone needs to know). I'll make a few.

I believe somebody made a more user friendly version but I can find no reference.

Any steers please?

Edit'- ASAP sell them - Jabsco SP1003-0111 End Plate Screw for Engine Cooling Pumps
(the originals that is).

I bought 6 Allan key socket stainless off ebay for 99p, I think they were 3mm diameter.

They're the ones. Not cheap!

They have "marine" in the title that's why they are expensive.

Similarly I replaced mine with hex bolt head screws, so I can use a socket to locate them and tighten thumb tight.

I used stainless Steel thumb screws, from ebay. They were not expensive, M4 or M5. Made in various sizes and length. Easy to use without tools and you don't drop them into the bilge!

I ordered from ASAP but received M5 which do not match. Not all cover plate screws are the same! Mine are 12 UNC.
John Garner of Specialist Marine Fasteners identified my needs.
I hadn't realised the listing was for three. They are cheap!

Edit;- excellent service - next day free delivery.
