I've just wasted three hours of my life trying to track down 2 off 10mm x 1.25 50mm long fully threaded screws. I have a fine collection of teeth-sucking, sarcastic storemen, and nothing else to show for my efforts.
Anyone got any ideas on where I can lay my hands on these mythical beasts?
Oooohhh..I don't know about that Nigel...no call for them these days you know... ;-)

Actually, I've had an email that's pointed me at a supplier (thanks Don!).
Yes, but not telling you - so there

You're not nice to me.
I've got a couple on their way to me, so I don't care. ;^)
I thought about that. I perused the metric thread chart on the end of the Colchester for a while, thought "bugger that for a game of soldiers" and went shopping.
I'm going to have to figure this out soon, though. I've got an M42 x 0.5 internal thread to cut.
How do I get myself into these jobs?
There's your problem - if you see every problem as a steam engine, even a 50mm machine screw, no wonder you find it hard

I didn't realise the the parts emporiums of the UK were so multi-faceted..

Depends whether they are even or Oddbins.

Hi Nigel,
Are you sure about the pitch you need?
According to my books, M10 coarse has 1.5mm pitch and M10 fine has 1.0 pitch.
Maybe this is why you can't find the so and so's?

I'm afraid so! (Bloody Italian motorcycles).
I've tracked a couple down, and they're in place.
Cheers!
Not M42x1.0 by any chance?

M42 x 1 it is (now I've got the drawing).
Aaahhh a sloppy 1-5/8" x 26
