Doesn't necessarily work out cheaper than screwfix or whatever but at least you don't end up 49 screws that you have no use for.</p> <p>What length of M6 screw are you after? I might have something that would do the job in the bargain bucket of stainless allen screws I bought more than 20 years ago... </p> gembo on "Hardware stores that do singles(M6 socket caps)?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21400#post-371837 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 22:29:04 +0000 gembo 371837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Saw the wee BS in Gorgie the other week </p> chdot on "Hardware stores that do singles(M6 socket caps)?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21400#post-371836 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 22:05:47 +0000 chdot 371836@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>BS only open Wed to Sat. </p> Frenchy on "Hardware stores that do singles(M6 socket caps)?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21400#post-371835 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 21:57:51 +0000 Frenchy 371835@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Worth a rummage at the Bike Station? </p> Yodhrin on "Hardware stores that do singles(M6 socket caps)?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21400#post-371833 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 21:52:55 +0000 Yodhrin 371833@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bit of an odd request but does anyone know which if any of the hardware stores in Edinburgh will do M6 socket cap(ie allen key machine screws) singles? I'm doing some modifications to my bike mirror and I need a longer one, but I resent having to buy a pack of fifty of the sodding things I have no other use for if I don't have to and since I'm out and about tomorrow anyway I might as well avoid waiting for ebay. </p>
