Good magnetics

Hey Wade, where those the screws you sent me? They really are nice. They'd be nicer if they were phillips head...

I replaced the Stew-Mac screws with those on one of my pickups. They seem to be more magnetic as well.

Shhhhh. Can't be letting those baby's out!! I'll send ya some more in a bit : ) Yep, I to am In the process of having those nailed in a phillups : )
They are quite a bit more magnetic too- Shows in the gauss level. As always, keeping an eye on the prize : )

asumming I ordered the right thing off the website, I received them today.. if I recall they were listed as historically accurate pole screw or something like that...

the screw quality is very nice but the threads are to big. they don't apear to be 5/40. they wouldn't fit through a keeper bary. I bought 6 sets and none fit.

can someone post a link to them so I can see if I bought the right ones. I might be able to save them with a die

They are really nice screws- 5-40 thread-- Has a hard radious head. I think most of us here use 1022 in something ; ) I know I do in certain models.
I think the most desired aspect would be getting as Longer headcap. From the bottom of the crown to the bottom of the screwcap. More material loads the Coil differently...As you stated, Nice looking screw though...

Whew. Glad we got that all cleared up.

They're 5-40. Trouble is, a lot of the keeper bars for sale are better suited to the metric screws. Drill them out or use a smaller screw.

Yeah I went back and looked and they ARE 5-40 but they are a large 5. The thread is 40, but the outer diameter of the screw is bigger. They will fit, but the thread is not bang on PAF. For example they will not just easily screw into a PAF or Pat sticker base plate, They will will force, but they the originals will fit a little looser.

Overall a very nice screw. I'm going to use them but I'll have to pre-drill with something other than a #38.
