WTD: Long brass (coloured) cartridge screws

[Geoff101]

Does anyone have or know where I can get some brass (or brass coloured) longish machine screws to attach my cartridge to a rather chunky headshell. The ones on my other arm seem to be about 17-18mm which would be fine I think.

Thanks

Thanks Grant. Any idea how long shipping from Japan takes?

I got a headshell and it came with a set of big goldies and a smaller set. It arrived in 6 days. Faster than some inland stuff

Brass are heavy would'nt Gold anodised Aluminium be better?

A bit of feedback to help others. If your headshell has recessed slots for the bolts (like the standard SL1200 one), then these:

...don't fit the normal way up as the pan heads are too broad. Fine on flat topped headshells of course.

Probably not news, but, being relatively soft brass can readily be filed down to reduce the head diameter. Finish with fine wet and dry and polish up to look professionally finished. :)
