Hi,
I’m looking atmaking a panel gauge and wanted to use a brass thumb screw on thetop to tighten the beam (like in many of the marking gauges you see). My problem is trying to find them in the UK. I’m looking for something around M6 and 30-40mm long. So far in my searches I’ve only been able to find steel / zinc plated ones in the UK.
Cheers.

Look where they have lamp parts, I have used the threaded rod for wire with the brass cap made to fit it works well and looks good.

Sorry to discover this thread late Bill.
They sell what you are looking for at Philly Planes.
I hope that helps!

If you’re still looking this site has a massive election of thumbscrews, not sure they have brass, if not likely they could tell you who would.
