MK 2Amp & 5Amp Plugs
Hi, Just a quick enquiry, I have some of the above that have one or more of cover securing screws missing. i know that they are 1" long but before I order anymore can anyone confirm what thread they?
I am guessing they are either 3mm, 5BA or 1/8" BSW but I don't have any screw thread gauges to check them with. Regards Trevor. |

Re: MK 2Amp & 5Amp Plugs
Hi Trevor ,
The screws you need are Brass (later steel) , 5BA, CSK., Slot-headed, 1/2" long. This applies to 2amp and 5amp plugs --- regardless of the shape of the plug tops . Perhaps I should add "in my experience" ! If you need only a very few , I could find you some . Regards, Laurie . |
