I need a few replacement screws for Lucas voltage regulator/control box on the TR3. I think they are 1/4-26 BSP?? maybe?

Also screws for the back of dash switches.

And grounding screw for the back of a TR3 dash panel.



Anyone have a source for new? Or a couple of good used ones?
 
Since you're not getting any action on this (so far) and I cannot help, I'll mention that the screws on the TR3 fuse block may be the same as on the voltage regulator. If so this would be one way to pick up 5 of them as these blocks often go for short money on eBay (or maybe someone has one of those lying around).

1/4 -26, are you sure on this? I am not familiar with this car but never heard that thread#

So it is 1/4-26 BSF(fine thread) not BSP (British Pipe),
again (maybe correct).

Still need a couple of regulator screws irrespective of what the thread pitch might really be, as long as they fit and are 9/10.

I just hit the HOME key on the link and see that they might have these. I'll post if they do.
 
I'm sure it's 1/4-26 based on my thread gauge and verified by the british fasteners link.

I also tried a 1/4-28 and wasn't correct.

Maybe Lucas used BSF for all their threads on components. I sure can't find anything common to fit as replacement hardware.
 
Like I said,Not familiar with this car,before my time "NOT". .Isn't the thread count on the gauge post on the 6 something funky like that?
