Pivot Screw

[put]

Does anyone know where I can get a couple of Pivot screws and washers for a Lyman mold? I know I can get the whole kit from Midway but all I need is a couple of pivot screws and washers.

I have an old mold I got from a friend that was missing one and I just broke one last night. I am not sure how I got it this way but I was casting and all was well. Then the spur plate was way to hard to turn. I adjusted it and it worked a few times then was too tight again. I readjusted it a third time and on the third cast the screw broke. Any ideas?

Just as a note, I have been casting for 5 years and have never had this problem. The mold is a year old from Lyman a 452664.

put,
Lyman makes rebuild kits, that contain all the screws and a sprue cutter, for all their moulds. They are available through Lyman or MidwayUSA, and probably others. One and two cavity kits are about $7/$8 and a couple bucks more for a four cavity.
