Hi Ya Guys,

I lost the set screw out of my MiHec mould. the one that holds the sprue plate bolt in place. Is it a 4mm x .7 pitch?
I guess the hardware store would have one if so.
Whatcha think?

Much obliged,

Max

Hi MiHec,
Got it. However I now am the proud owner of 99 more set screws. It came in packs of 100. I put one in and threadLock'd it in place.
Now these screws are M4-0.7x4mm DIN916 rather than 913 as MiHec prescribed. The diff I am told is in the shape of the point (not to put too fine a point on it).
Anyway anyone want one? pay postage.

Much obliged,

Max

Right....
DIN 916 is pointed and DIN 913 is flat end.

Either are good, just don't over tight ;)
