wanted, 3x22 step screws (blackfoot/monster beetle, maybe others)

[graemevw]

Has anyone got a pair of these screws? They hold the front arms to the chassis bracket. The 22mm ones are the longer ones that also go through the shock tower. All the frog/brat ones are 3x20.

 

If not, any ideas what else they are used in? I cant find any.

Thanks.

Do you mean the ones that hold shocks on or suspension arm pivots?

Can you use M3 screws/bolts and those little brass ferrules?

[graemevw]

Yeah, if I have to.

Better than spending £12 on a bag of screws (guessing new price if i ever found any).

 

[Granddad Stinky]

Where are you?

[Tamiyabigstuff]

Think I might have some of these - will take a look.

[graemevw]

I mean the suspension pivot ones. BA11 in the 2016 blackfoot manual.

I am in the uk.

Just to confirm, these are what I need.

If you really get stuck, send one to me and I'll have a go at making some. I could turn down some M5 stainless Allen bolts and thread the end. 😁

Thanks, but I have a lathe. The thought has crossed my mind.

My lathe is 115 years old though and im still using hand ground cobalt steel tooling. Im not sure I can get a finish good enough to not accelerate wear in the arms.

I will be able to sort something, id much rather have the right screws though. I cant believe they arent reasonably easily available!

 

Ill make new arms with better attachment points if I have to!!!

Did you ever manage to source some of these?  I’m missing a pair too

I'll have to look but I might have some of those lying around
