Felipe R. Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hello all! hope fully somebody can help me out... The screw that connects the yoke to the gimbal came loose and when I saw it was too late. The screw was bent. I have a few steel screws that feet perfectly. But my question is: would them hold the weight? Thanks for any kind piece of advice Felipe Reinheimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted July 23, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Not sure what grade that screw is ( I believe it's 5/32nd like most Pro screws) but you'll probably be ok in a pinch while you call Pro and ask them/have some sent out to you.

Moderators Janice Arthur Posted July 29, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Felipe I'm sure you have fixed your problem by now but it is a simple fix for the future to have a small pact of replacement screws available to u in your case. Www.mcmaster.com or your hardware store will sell single pieces. A screw checker (a piece of metal that lets you fig out exactly the size screw/bolt that u have) is a $6. Purchase. Hardened screws are black in color and don't give like the softer silver ones but even they're very cheap. Why loose a days' pay over a simple fix that would be stupid not to have for a few pennies and make u better prepared Over time u can come up w a small pack of typical replacement screws This will make you more prepared for any job.

Premium Members Tommy Stork Posted April 30, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 The screw is a stainless 10-32 x 5/8. The wrench for this screw is a 5/32. Get it straight Baldwin. Jiminy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
