    hi members , i have lost the screws that are underneath some of my PS1's and i'm having a hard time finding replacements or the originals for sale. I've bought some 3mm x 12mm and i heard a crack when screwing one in and one of the posts had cracked. My only option at this point is buying a Lot of broken PS1's off ebay and use the screws from them , but i would be stuck with a ton of shells which i don't really want to throw out. The internal parts would be cool though i would store them in a box.

    so yeah i need some suggestions and help

    hi guys , i'm from Australia so i'm not sure it will work out. I need 39 black screws , if you are interested i will give more money on top of the screws and shipping via Paypal as a bonus.

    let me know what you think

    I'm sorry, but I don't like dealing with international shipping. I will say that your measurements are mostly correct (seems more to be 12.5/12.75 than 13mm in length but I'm not 100% it's accurate) as I just used a micrometer on one but don't have the mechanical knowledge to explain why yours are cracking the plastic posts; differences in thread size?

    Not sure if I have 39 of them. I will check.

    International shipping for something that small wont cost much.

    no worries Nully , on the bag of 50 i bought of M3 (3mm) X 12mm the pitch size is much closer than on a original PS1 screw. So there are many Crests on the replacement , even though when the replacement got about 3/4 the way in i heard a crack.

    roger that Ad , check any time i'm cool

    Any update on this, I came into another big bag of screws if you needed some more after Ad sent his. Let me know and I'll ship!
