Chassis Strap Screws

C-RAM

Has anyone ever found a source? Tough to find, I can only come up with substitutions - for my 100 RD, they are 3.25" Oval Head Machine Screws, #10-32 Thread - accompanying Kep Nuts are 3/8".

All Fender are #8-32, by the way...

So, I've managed to find a reasonable (in my eyes) replacement - 

These are known as Escutcheon Trim Screws, and are made for Delta faucet faceplates and fixtures; here's an Amazon link:

Differences - 

  • Originals are nickel-plated, these are stainless steel
  • These are about 1/4" longer than the originals
  • Originals have 32 threads per inch, these have 24

 

What's important to me is that they are the same size/diameter (10), are oval-head Phillips screws, and stainless steel matches nickel pretty well.
