Replacement screws/nuts for PTP elbows

[Jonnydread]

Hi folks,

I'm building a cocker pump for a friend and it's a RF. I have one of those lovely PTP elbows, but for the life of me I can't find the screws or nuts for them. Anyone know the sizes off hand so I don't just have to buy a bunch of random shit from the hardware store?

I might be able to just mail you some. I can check when I get home.

[Jonnydread]

That would be great! I don't need them immediately so it's not a huge rush.

6-32.

Yep. Bought some spares recently. The original screws that came with mine were slotted and I prefer to replace them with hex cap screws so I don't have to grab a screwdriver when I've already got a set of Allen wrenches out anyway.

Yup, Jordan has it correct 6-32 screws and nuts. I get Wing or Knurled knobbed bolts and RTV the nuts into place. The other option is to cut out the nut/bolt bosses and just use hose clamps. On those I use black coaches tape (hockey tape) to wrap and hold them in place.

[MrBarraclough]

RTV for the nuts, why didn't I think of that?!! I had been using superglue, but it is too brittle and cracks loose after a few tighten/loosen cycles.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the responses guys!

This thread got me thinking if I could rig up a PTP feedneck with some of these bad boys

id probably ditch the circle part and just use the lever.

Seems you can just order a seat post quick release pin without the collar!

Yep, that seems like the way to go. Time to rig up a convenient monstrosity
