Sourcing dropout adjuster screws

[Ross 1964]

My 1984 Raleigh frame is now stripped to go to the paintshop.

The (Suntour) rear dropout adjusters were a pig to get out and have been damaged in the process.

Does anyone know where I might source a pair of these? The knurled end knobs are intact and can be reused if needed so it's just the machine screws I need.

Thanks for any help!

I could do with a pair as well.

They are standard 3 mm screws, nothing unusual about most of them, although some did have a bifurcated tip which better grasped the knurled cap. They do come up on ebay quite often.

I have a few complete sets with screws, caps and springs which seems to be much more than you need.

I need a complete set but will let Ross have first dibs as its his thread.

gavr, thanks for the info. Mine are 38mm overall length. I've had them screwed right in so longer or equal length would be fine. What size do you have?

I have a NOS campag pair, 37 mm inc springs but missing the shiny caps if that's any good...

Happy to help. I like the little campag paper packets they come in...
