Title: EII Case Screws
Post by: HideawayStudio on May 05, 2009, 02:50:26 PM
I'm in the process of restoring my EII+ and wondered if anyone knew exactly what thread type and size the large screws are that mount the top plastic moulding to the bottom metal chassis as mine are very oxidised and need replacing.   Being an American design it is highly unlikely these are metric - anyone any ideas?

Cheers,

Dan.

Hi - I suspect they are UNC or UNF thread screws which are slightly more difficult to get hold of in Europe - there is a place local to me that should be able to match them up with new ones - I will check at the weekend.

Thanks for the offer of spare screws from the other guy but I'm specifically after shiny new ones.   I'm also going to have the grey case paint matched with a colour match machine to make up some touch up paint.

By the time I've finished this EII+ should look really tidy.   ;D
