M3 Hub screws with small head Anyone know where i can get some M3 hub screws with a small head? All the cap head screws i have won't fit my 1.9 wheels. The head of a normal cap head is around 5mm wide and these on the wheels look to be 4mm wide. |

Re: M3 Hub screws with small head They're the Chinese version of the VP hubs, so use a m3 screw, but the head of the screw is a smaller diameter than a regular me. Tried eBay but just get the regular cap head come up. |
Re: M3 Hub screws with small head A pic I put on Instagram to show the difference... https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hiRpIF...d=tw5hvm5bhdhn |
Re: M3 Hub screws with small head You are are probably looking for something like these. https://www.nbk1560.com/en-US/produc...screw/SNSS-SD/ Look at the part numbers SNSS-M3-5-SD to SNSS-M3-12-SD (6mm to 12mm long). The head diameter is 4.5mm on these and standard cap head M3 screws are 5.5mm diameter. Not sure where else you might find them but at least you know they are nothing special to that particular wheel manufacturer. You will probably have to buy them from an industrial fastener supplier rather than your local hardware store. |

I've been unable to find the right length of hub bolts before for a particular wheel and just bought long ones and cut them all down... |

Yeah i thought about shaving the head down narrower. I need 36 so going to buy a bag. Think i've found a place near me. Kind offer though "thumbsup" |

I completely understood what you wanted... ;-) I was just mentioning a time in the past where I had also modified hardware to suit an application as CodyBoy had. Good luck on your search! |
Re: M3 Hub screws with small head I know I'm a little late to the party, but did you ever find a place to get these screws? I need 5 of them, probably going to have to shave some down myself but if I don't have to, then im not going to haha |
Re: M3 Hub screws with small head Typically the Chinese wheels come with hubs and screws that fit just fine... |

Re: M3 Hub screws with small head RC4WD screws heads are usually slightly smaller OD, or turn some down with drillpress and a file. :) |

Re: M3 Hub screws with small head Cool, doesn't take much rotations with a good flat file to reduce the head diameter, could even use a hand drill but press is much easier and more precise. And yeah that's too much $$ for couple screws lol. |
Re: M3 Hub screws with small head ive found the bigger head still seats in the pocket on the wheels just fine but if not you could kiss the rim with a drill bit to open the hole up and never have that problem again |
