Default RE: Screws

I get most of my screws at home depot,lowes, sometimes micromark for really tiny ones, and even harbor freight, There is about 8 to 10 harbor freights in NC, just not sure how close to you though. But if you do find one close by, don't be tempted to buy everything in the store lol, some of the their stuff is junk, just be careful. although I have bought a digital caliper and it has worked great for two years now.

I needed a grub screw for my Panzer III sprocket wheel. Home Depot and Lowes don't have what we need for HL tanks.

I think most of the screws in the HL tanks are 3mm, which most "common" box stores dont carry. I've looked and looked for replacements and most the 3mm's seem to have a finer thread, which makes me wonder if the new ones will grab good enough. If someone finds good replacements, let us know, because the stock HL screws are crappy. Quality control isnt good, I've found several with misshapened heads, etc.
