Farley coax rest question

[marwitz89]

I recently sent my Farley Coax 2 rest in for upgrades. When it returned, I did not have the 2 screws utilized for placing tension onto the sides of the front bag. I'm curious if anyone knows what size these threads are so I can temporarily find something that will work. I have e-mailed and called Farley but have not received a response yet (Shocking, I know!!!!). Any help identifying the thread size and threads per inch is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Bring the parts with the threaded holes to an Ace Hardware. They have a much better selection than the big box stores. Hex, Allen, carbon steel, stainless, etc. Plus metric. Just trial fit 'til you find the 1 you need.

The ones on my Farley are 1/4-20 x 1. Very standard stuff. McMaster Carr probably has the thumb screws in that size...probably even stainless if you prefer.--Mike Ezell

Mike's right, 1/4-20. While you are at the hardware store, get a 1/4-20 nut for the set screw on the opposite side. Mine backed out during a match and I had to fumble for my hex keys to tighten it. Now, no more problem.

Awesome, thank you very much for the information everyone....... I really appreciate it.

Are you talking about the 5/8"X11 tension screws?

No Butch, I already have a set of those from you and absolutely love them. They are the ones in the picture somebody posted. I picked some up at hardware store.

Thanks,
Joe
