Thumbscrews - Suppliers?

[daz]

Hi all

Am trying to find a supplier of the little thumbscrews that are used on a focuser to lock the eyepiece in place.

Well, actually, what I want to do is replace the little set screws in my polar scope with the thumbscrews, to make it easier to collimate the polar scope.

Any ideas? Me and google are having a falling out over this...

I think this gives a good selection of suppliers?

When I ever need any "bits n bobs" making or fixing, I go to the local engineer guy.

You show him one of something, and he will make more.

Just an idea, incase you have any small engineering workshops nearby

"show me what you want and I will make it" is his line

This might do - AstroBoot - look for 'Meade spares kit' £4

It would have been more as I didn't buy your suggestion - but found a finder bracket with the screws I needed
