Hex Servo Screws
Not quite jets related but I will be using these on jets
Does anyone know where I can buy in quantity (about 500 or so) hex head self tapping servo screws like the ones available from Tamjets. I know Ali supplies them but out of stock at the moment and need some pretty quick. These are the ones I mean http://www.tamjets.com/original/prod...roducts_id=282 Cheers Ian |

Have you not got anything better to do Ian? I mean come on. How else do you think I am going to be able to retire and buy that Island in the Caribbean and yacht to go with it? :D Just for your info, but I am sure as a seasoned business man in this model trade you know all of this already.. Tam Jets does indeed sell twice as many screws as we do for $5.99. We sell 50 for £3.49. Tams dollar price at todays rate works out to around £3.69 for twice as many screws, so nearly spot Ian. Well done. Of course I guess you factored in that the dollar to pound at the moment is at a damn good rate, and that maybe I priced these screws when the rate was closer to 1.5-1?? Right? Then of course you factored in the 20% Vat and lets say 4% duty that should be paid on any import from the USA right??? Course you did.. Oh and then did you factor in that I have to pre pack every bag as they come to me in one big bag. ( or did you think that in my effort to get rich quick I was paying a member of staff in peanuts to pick out 50 screws from every bag, change the bag itself and put a new header card on each bag, and this of course incurred no cost? ) Lastly, I am sure you thought about the shipping right??? At least this thread bought a little bit of sunshine into my otherwise dull and damp Monday morning. Now I must go and see how the servo screw retirement fund is maturing. Regards Al |

RE: Hex Servo Screws
[/quote] Dont forget to mention that it is difficult counting to 50 and also that you have to check each bag to make sure they have not put in 51 [img][/img] [/quote] DAMN IT TIM! I never thought of that. Just think about what I could be losing out on? [:'(] Right! Thats it. I am shutting the shop today and no orders will be processed till we have counted every bag. No one is getting a free screw from me! :D Either that, or I might go and invest a few $K on a really expensive weighing machine. Lordy knows there is the margin to do so.. Regards Al |
RE: Hex Servo Screws
Monday morning, why did you have to remind me?[&o]

RE: Hex Servo Screws
Panic over.. I have it sussed. If I get the boys to re pack each bag with just 49 screws in... The kids can eat again! :D
It's only fair John! I have just landed after a week in southern Spain ( Jets over Palma Del Rio ). From 30 degs and not a cloud in the sky.. to this! :( |

It would make a nice change to see some decent fixings supplied with the Falcon kits ! :D
|
RE: Hex Servo Screws
They look like very similar to the ones that were in my Boomerang Intro !! LOL
|
RE: Hex Servo Screws
I'd prefer to see a falcon put together with those rusty nails than the crap glue they use:)
|
RE: Hex Servo Screws
How about a Hilti Nail Gun!
You could do some really good rivet detail in a very short space of time!;) I've always said that our little Chinese friends think Glue is over rated! LOL!:) JT |

RE: Hex Servo Screws
I also factored in the fact that Tamjet stuff is quite often out of stock so an alternative source was needed.
I intend to use alot of them in the near future for a project i'm working on so if you can do me a price for bulk supply that would be great. About 1000 at a time and seriously you don't need to count them. By weight will be fine. You can PM me or email me on [email protected] Thanks Ian ORIGINAL: Ali ORIGINAL: ModellbauUK Not quite jets related but I will be using these on jets Does anyone know where I can buy in quantity (about 500 or so) hex head self tapping servo screws like the ones available from Tamjets.

RE: Hex Servo Screws
If only all RCU jet forum threads were as entertaining as this one. Haven't laughed so hard in ages. Gimme 5 minutes. I'm just going to check relative supplier pricing of cable ties.

RE: Hex Servo Screws
Happy to be of help Dom :D let me know how you get on with those cable ties. Thats next on my millionaires list.
|
RE: Hex Servo Screws
I agree Dominic
All ask for was for a supplier of hex self tapping screws. A simple "Yes you can get them from ............." would have done. Plus a few very long in the tooth digs thrown in for good measure.
