I see plenty of pop rivets offered for Mamod engines.

Can anyone tell me where can I get the screws, nuts, lock washers for the earlier models?

Thanks.....

David, are you talking about screws etc for the engien frame, or just in general. If just for the engine frame, someone, I think Sandy/Mooseman , put up an eBay item a while ago for a seller of small screws etc in a pack, obsensibly for electronic use.

Cheers

Chris

My guess is 6BA, which is .112 (I think) dia.

An 1/8" (.125) drill shank won`t pass through the holes.
