I do have a lathe but even so the idea of reshaping all 8 little screws is a bit much.!

Ray, you lightweight
8 isnt a lot.
Ive just been making 400 1/8" round head rivets in to conical head rivets for a model im building.
Ive just realised i need another 100.

I can't make models now because my poor hands hurt too much. I also have trouble gripping small items so those screws would soon end up on the floor.!
A sorry state of affairs for a pianist; let alone a car restorer. |

No sooner had I cut down some new metric screws than I came across this handful of 3/16" BSF ones complete with authentic square nuts.
Just what I wanted originally. I didn't buy these so they must have been part of the great stash of fittings and fixings that I rescued from my Dad's garage when he passed away.
Is it just me, or does this happen to anyone else? |
