Hi everyone this may sound odd but I'm finding it rather hard to find a 0.8 inch long screw for teklok (mostly because we unfortunately use metric and most shops don't have imperial screws). Is there any chance that you could very kindly let me know if:

1) you know a place that sells metric teklok fittings (screw and flat headed nuts).

or

2) you know a place that I can get imperial screws (0.8 inch long and ~0.16 inch wide not sure what that translates to in fraction... think its 5/32 but not sure...)

I'm making a new sheath at the moment and its the last piece of the puzzle!

Thank you all very much for the trouble and thank you all for your help :)
 
Not sure I fully understand, but hopefully this info is helpful.

The screws and posts that come with Tek-Loks are #8-32. The post is typically referred to as a "Chicago post" or "binding post".

Unless you're attaching something on the front of the sheath with the same screws as the TL, 0.8" may be a bit long. 3/8" or 1/2" is commonly used.

Either way, if you look for 8-32xlength you should be able to find what you're looking for.

Thank you for the reply! The threading number did the trick! Thanks very much :)

The reason it was long was because I am playing around with the idea of using tek-lok carry leather sheath so that it could be carried in a versatile manner (such as strong side carry, small of back, dangler, left and right handed etc...)

I've temporarily bought some 6mm nuts and bolts while I wait for the 8-32 screws to arrive so I'll post that up when I get home tonight.

Thank you for your help :)
 
Ah, I see.
