S.S. screws

I need to pickup a few 1/2" SS screws. I only found #6. The ones I removed look like #4. Is this the size? I'm restoring 3 very old Creek Chub swimmers. Believe me they were beat.Had to even restore the face of the plugs w/ epoxy, reshape face and recut a lip groove. I made the replacements lips from .020 SS. I see M & D's has screws 1/2" but I don't need 100 count.My local hardware had only #6.

they might work, but maybe try home depot or a different hardware store, you should be able to find them

Billy when you pass under Rt.8 bridge on 34 there is a place called the Nutty Bolt co. I think its still there . I used to go there a lot when I worked at Bayer. They will have what your looking for.

Do you know what size (OD) you need? Can you measure the OD of the threads? Number 6 is pretty large. I have some #2 and #4 which we had in stock but not on the cart. I'll get them up later today if interested. However, it may not be worth it if just ordering the screws. We do have a flat $6.99 shipping fee no matter what you order but again...if just ordering the screws you'll likely pay more for shipping no matter where you get it from. Finding it locally would be the best ... if not too far away.

Check out this chart:
