Hi all, Latest project is to replace the Herzim seal and corroded screws along the side of my Chausson Welcome 27. The seal I can get from Sealsdirect or Leisuredirect, its the screws that are bothering me. I've tried Screwfix and B&Q but all the screws I have found seem to have too large a head and force the seal out. The screws installed are 32 x 4.25mm with a 6.5mm bugle type head. I hope to replace them with Stainless Steel screws.

Any help in locating S/S screws with a flat head would be appreciated

Martin

Try your local industrial fastener stockist or look on ebay for Kays Fasteners and Bolt From The Blue, they both carry a huge range of stainless screws and have given me good service over the last year or so.

Got mine from Thomas Potters Fasteners. They're based in Cramlington but don't know if they do anything online.

Got 500 S/S 30mm counter sunk screws to do my awning rails.

I think they were around £16.

Thank you Rob, much appreciated. I tried both but still struggling to find screws with the right size head.

One other quick thought. Have you tried a yacht chandlery? They have lots of stainless fastenings in uncommon sizes.
