I need some help.
What is the measure of the original screws from BK17 and BK2.
I searched a lot and could not find the little time I saw a link here in the forum that directed to a seemingly Becker website that has this information, only that I could not find again.
 
Over in the Becker subforum, at the top of the page in the "stickies", is a thread labeled "Becker Blade Database".

Post #5 has the screw info.
 
Thank you friend for help.
But here in Brazil it uses the default mm, so do not have the habit of using this type of measure. So I could not understand the measures that are in that topic.
The BK17 from what I could ascertain here seems to be 9/64 inch.
Can you tell me what are the measures of the BK2 screws and also taking advantage of BK11.
 
This is as accurate as I can get converting from English units to Metric units, but it should be good enough to get by in the local hardware store. :D

Overall length of screws 0.794 inch
Length of threads on screws - 5/8 inch
Screw size is 10/32 x 5/8
Nut size is - 10-32
Screw size (flat to flat) - 3/8 inch
Screw thickness (low profile nylon lock nuts) - 3/16

According to a chart I have, 10/32 x 5/9 = M5 x .8 Metric Coarse
My chart does not have a "Metric Fine" equivalent for this size screw.

Using 1 inch = 2.54 cm or 25.4 mm, we get the following conversions-
Overall length -- 0.794 inch = 20.1676 mm
Thread length -- 5/8 inch = 0.625 inches = 15.875 mm
Nut Size (flat to flat) -- 3/8 inch = 0.375 inches = 9.525 mm
Nut Thickness -- 3/16 inch = 0.1875 inches = 4.7625 mm

Again thank you your attention.

But I think I expressed myself badly, I need to know what is the measure of the allen wrench for the bolts of BK11, BK02 and BK17.

Please forgive me the evil way to express myself.
 
In digging through some of the old threads for data, I found the some info. All conversions were done using the ratio of 1 inch equals 25.4mm. This is not exactly the perfect ratio, but close enough.

Full-size Beckers (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12) take a 5/32 Allen wrench. A 4mm Allen wrench will work as well, just a slightly tighter fit than the 5/32 wrench (5/32 = 0.15625 inch vs 4mm = 0.15748 inch)

The Tweeners (15, 16, 17) take a 9/64 Allen wrench (0.140625 inch). This is equal to 3.57mm. A 3.5mm might work, although a little loosely. If there is such a thing as a 3.6mm Allen wrench, you might be able to sand it down to fit.

The Neckers (11, 13, 14, 24) scales usually need a 3/32 inch (0.09375 inch or 2.38125mm) wrench.
A 2.3mm wrench, if it exists, would be a little loose. A 2.4mm or 2.5mm could be sanded down to fit.

I hope that will get you going.
 
This is exactly the answer I was needing.
I live in a small town and find tools in inches is hard, I have to ask for it off. Measures needed for this.
Thank you friend.
