Making your own setscrews

Ive have a bit of a head ache finding..

Counter Sunk Socket Cap Set Screws in a M12x1.5 fine. (bell housing to gearbox)

My local fasteners specialist says no one makes them, and I could find anything online either..

So I had to modify some same head 'bolt', cut off the threaded part, and retap the blank shaft to a M12 fine thread.

All came out better than I hoped.. I had to heat them up a bit with a gas torch to help take off the hardness on the surface , as they were 10.9 rating !

well chuffed.

Are you intending to re-harden them?

Did you try Stig Fasteners. I believe they will do specials aswell although they stock many types that are usually hard to get. I've used them and they were really good, quick delivery and the prices are pretty good too.

Cheers
