Folks, I have received the Robart Pneumatic version of the main gear.
They are supposed to be mounted using 6 screws on each. Unfortunately I cannot find these screws now, so I need to order them from my favourite nuts and bolts supplier.
So, could anyone please tell me what the inch-dimension is on these screws?
Please ? It would help me a lot, since we are normally using metric stuff on a daily basis.

Yes, but I cannot order screws , unless I know the dimension.
The length is of no interest. I can measure that. But thanks for the heads up on the one above the cylinder.
Do you know the dimension? In that case could you please tell me?
I don't know what #6 means. I do understand 4-40, or 2-56. Or 5/32, or 1/4, and so on.
My guess is that it is 4-40 ?
Here is where I normally order nuts and bolts, but it isnt easy for us mm-guys ;
http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/unf_cap_screws.htm
10-32, 0-80, 4-48 .....makes my head spin....( no 4-40....)
I don't have any inch screws in my inventory, so I can check. Plenty of mm screws, but no inch stuff.

If the 109 is anything like the TF P51 or the TF P47, then the should be sheet metal screws. They both use #6 sheet metal screws. Here's a link. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXK009&P=7 to #6x3/4.

That makes me worried. Manuals aren't allways correct......
There are blind nuts on the Fw-190 for the gear. Is it blind nuts on the TF-P-51 and P-47 too ?
Or perhaps just wood'en holes?
If they have blind nuts too, then I'd better order those #6 screws too, just to be sure.
But the #6 screws looks like they are supposed to be used for wood? It really is a good idea.
Use them first, until you rip them out, then go for inserts.

I don't use the majority of the hardware these ARF's come with. Most of the time it's cheap, so it's best to play it safe and do it right the first time.. I definitely go with blind nuts. JMO. On my meister FW190, the gears mounting holes were enlarged to fit small nylon bolts with blind nuts so if the gear rip out, the mounts won't go with them.
