Hi pple,
Wondering if any of you guys or gals know any screw shops that have a large selection of screw sizes .. =)
I lost a thumbscrew in my 2" SCT visual back in the grass while obbing in Tampines a few weeks back and don't feel safe with only one screw holding on to the heavy 2" stuff ... =)
Also trying to find a thumbscrew to replace the standard screw for my red dot finder and thumbscrews to replace the collimation screws on my SCT (think Bob's knobs) ...
Any help would be greatly appreciated ... =)

You shld be able to find a wide variety of screws at those hardware shops. Some of them selling nothing but nuts, screws and bolts.

Which area u staying at?

I would try Yong Seng Screws first as suggested by Arief. The cost of the screws if bought locally would be much cheaper than ordering from the US.

Just bring your other screw down as a sample. If they do not have exactly the same, ask for 'thumb screws'.
