Davide DB Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Hi all, My buddy lost the screws of his Aquatica GH5 housing handles. Do you know which kind of screws they are? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davide DB Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Maybe @Aquatica could help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ross Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Basically go to a fastener store with the housing and find a stainless steel cap screw with the right thread. Canada is metric but being next door to the US, threads could be imperial. Presumably they screw into a tapped hole on the housing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davide DB Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Yes I know this is the correct way. I wanted to avoid a trip to the store because actually stainless screws with allen head are harder to find here. I have to go to a nautical hardware store and then maybe go there and find out it's in inches. Anyway it's not a 1/4 20 photographic but it looks like an M6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ross Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Quite possibly an M6 or M8?, you could try in any hardware store then knowing the right thread order the correct screws. If you have a Nauticam housing it will likely have a screw about that size you could try out, mine seems to have M6, M8 and M10 screws. If you find one that fits you can measure the OD with calipers and consult a thread chart to work out what is what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ross Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Of course if it looks the right size and won't screw in you are dealing with imperial threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
