thread size on pam cases and strap screws

[olreon]

Hello,

just wanted to know if someone knows the exact thread size on the pam cases and strap screws. also important is the lead of the thread is it 0.35 or 0.5?

thanks,

Depends on who made the case.

To get something that works rather than is perfect :-

M1.4 x 2 most Rad lugs. Most need either a stop spacer machined in or an extra long head to bring it level with the case.

M1.6 x 3 or M2 x 3 for crown guard screws

The dificult bit on both is the head diameter, much smaller than DIN std spec.

As for screw bars, I've got at least six variations of thread, diameter, thread length etc. etc.

I even have two cases from the same factory, one SS and one Ti, that have differing, non-interchangable screw bars. Probably the reason so many get the threads stripped.
