Hey there,

I asked this question in the gallery post and since I got no relpy I figured I might as well try here where I should ask the question in the first place...

so far I used hex-head inox screws for my restorations (not that there were many anyways )
like this one here

since there were quite some comments due to the screws I thought of trying to get the ones people usually use from eg microfasteners

the problem is that (regardless to the fact I read the stickies and forum posts about these) I am not sure what the principle of these screws actually is..

if you look at the pic below you can see that in the A case the axle has thread and the outer parts serve as a kind of caps (so the same principle as I use), where as in the B case the axle is a tube with inner thread and the outer screws screw in the tube

from what I understood the second (B) case is usually used with screws (please coreect me if I'm wrong).

Now if the second one is used, I have another few (questions) for you:
- what size has the pivot hole have to be (I'm guessing it has to be widen, the blades I had sofar had approximately 2 mm (app 5/64) pivot hole )
- what are the screws (cap and tube) I should get at microfasteners, so far I found this one (click) but wasn't able to find the "tube/axel" part (the parts posted in the sticky thread "here" are outdated, since the store changed site's architecture and products codes?)
- I would like to use torx (6-star) or allen screws, but from what I can se from the picture at microfasteners that screw uses a "5-star" key?

I hope my questions were clear enough since I don't really know the expressions for these

thanks
