Where to buy Brass Screws?

[Ahseng]

Just trying luck here, almost giving up after calling/emailing various stationery and hardware shops.

Anyone knows where to buy this kind of brass screws?

The Sungei Rd end and you might look around the Sungei Road flee market as well.

Can check with yong seng screws at ubi.

This looks pretty customised. I dun think you will be able to find such unusual screws.

 

Anyway do not have to be brass, right? Any round head or hex cap screw with washer and with the same thread pitch will be able to replace them. It can be stainless steel or galvanised steel?

 

There are many hardware shops selling fasteners around jalan besar stadium. Namely...

1) Central Engineering Pte Ltd. 113 Tyrwhitt Road.

2) Pan Sun Hardware Pte Ltd. 803 King George's Ave.

3) Yong Seng Screws Pte Ltd. 802 French Rd.

 

You may have better luck with Yong Seng though they are more costly dan the rest. Those odd odd kind of fasteners they might have it. If all of the above dun have dan just go with round head screws with washers. Bring along the brass rod for them to check out the thread size and depth.

I think these are customised and not easy to find. Those screw shops at King George area that the guys recommend here, their prices a bit on the high side. I prefer my usual shop at Kelantan Lane MSCP. Only one screw shop there with the most walk-in customer. The shop is directly below the MSCP, sorry I can recall the name of the shop.

 

I was looking for M2 x 20mm stainless steel cap bolt. Those shops at King George were charging me $1 per bolt!!! The Kelantan Lane charge only 50cents. I needed 20pcs so you can imagine the price difference. And they give excuses that the bolt I want is small and long, very difficult to produce. Eversince, I became their regular customer.

that side lesser lah. tougher to find. the hardware shops around the Jalan Besar Stadium (or was it swimming pool? cannot remember) has better chances.

"loh see ong" is the best place liow. if she dun carry it, not likely you will find in SG liow.

If it is for books or photo albums...ie for Arts purposes...you can try Artsfriend at bras basah complex......they have lots of stuffs over there specially for doing arts and crafts  DIY ...nice place to hang around, can try your luck if the jalan besar places do not sell what you are looking for.
