Good evening,

I'd like to replace the phillips screws in my Evo with Allen head machine screws. Do you have suggestions on where to find them?

Thank you.

Christian

[Edit] I found fastener-express? Seems like a good spot....

I wish they had taken this one step further by using hex head screws and nyloc nuts for the frame assembly but they can be ordered in packages of ten from your favorite retailer. The part number for the 32mm screws is 2532-053 and the nuts are 2505-020.

Actually they are JIS, if you try it with a phillips head you will pretty much destroy the screws trying to get them tight.
