Who sells long screws?

[BobnLesley]

We need two replacement screws for our deckhead grabrails. But can find nowhere stocking screws longer than 4". These are Bronze (stainless steel will do either), 4.5" x 12's, with raised countersunk, slot heads.(again, plain countersunk heads would do) anybody know a likely supplier?

Why not counterbore holes so that a 4" screw will fit, then plug to cover.

But where are you? A liitle info filled in on your profile would be appreciated, and may get some local suppliers named.

www.angliastainless.co.uk sell a huge range of silicon bronze fastenings [and stainless, of course]. You might also try
www.jamestowndistributors.com [they are in the USA but do international mail order]

Hi BobnLesley. I take it Carlisle? Hope all is going well. I managed to get some from Southampton a few years back but they have ceased trading. Steve Birch

I needed some v. long screws a while back and unable to find any I talked to a stainless fabricator who was doing some other stuff for me and he made me some !

Give Classic marine a call - not cheap, but they'll probably be able to source bronze ones quite easily
