My apologies for asking but this is my last hope. I am after a few 3/8″ BSF x 1″long stainless steel grub screws. This is for a custom built carp fishing rod rest project I am building for a co-worker. I have trawled the internet for hours and searched all the usual suppliers, I can buy any thread apart from the one I want. Does any one know if such a thing is still avaliable?

Thanks for any help,

Tony

Do they have to have a hex socket? could you not just cut a screwdriver slot in a bit of threaded rod or cut the end of a bolt or screw.

They are also known as “socket set screws” may throw up a few different results on your favorite search engine.

Hi Jason, yes I may have to do that if I can’t get any ready made ones. I’m off to try a new search now.

Also if you can find them in a shorter length, just add a slug of brass between the shaft and screw end with the added bonus you won’t damage the shaft.

Hi Tony

Try here emkay – he lists 3/8 BSW stainless socket cap screws at 1″, 1 1/4″ and 1 1/2 ” long.

Oh whoops sorry – looking again at your post I see you need BSF .

It is worth contacting him however as I’ve found him very helpful and quite quick.

Regards
