Pars Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Got my cases just fine Gael, thanks! Just some notes from preliminary investigation: For anyone who wants to replace the included fasteners (which are actually pretty nice!), the corner screw threading is 6-32 imperial. The top/bottom screw threading is 4-40 imperial. Yes, they are actually threaded and not the crappy sheet metal screws that you often find on this. Both are countersunk on all cases (I believe; Gael, correct me if that is wrong). Fit seems to be good on the Alpha case. I haven't tried the TKD case yet.

Pars Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) I think you people will be rather pleased with what this group buy had gotten you, and mucho thanks to Gael for organizing/laying it out/and running it! Still screwing around with fasteners and may still order some black SS. M3 metric other than the case screws, which are imperial.

Chris will you be getting the front and back screws with phillips or allen heads? I'd love to get some allen ones for the front and back.

Pars Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I’ll be using Allen heads. The buildees have indicated that they are fine with non SS black oxide fasteners though. The 2 places I found the black SS in non-case quantities are Accugroup (UK) and fastener-express IIRC.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASantos Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'm more concerned about phillips head getting worn out. Ss is a side benefit for me. Do you have a link for the akkugroup product? I might have better shipping rates and then ship to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFN Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Maybe check if modelfixings.co.uk have what you need?. Should be cheaper and they have been totally reliable for me in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thanks. I’ll have to check them out. I found what I needed at fastener-express.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspirou Posted August 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) All boxes have been shipped except for three international packages that need a special flat rate box that the post office doesn't typically carry. Apparently a plain box with the same dimensions isn't good enough. I mean it is, but it adds $20 to shipping Edited August 25, 2018 by cspirou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
