Vewlix Plastic Screws

[bagheera369]

Looking for the screws that attach the metal framing pieces to the side plastics.

They look kinda like self-tapping screws, but I was hoping someone would have either full measurement/ID information, and possibly a place to source them?

Any help is much appreciated.

Could also use some new control deck mounting screws, and the screws that hold the metal "legs w/casters" to the cab too, if anyone has info on that.

The Diamond Blue I'm cleaning had some pretty gnarly corrosion on a lot of the hardware.

I happen to have my panels for my Vewlix C disassembled and on my kitchen counter for cleaning right now. Unfortch I can't say if it's the same on the diamond, but...

They're not M4 (too small), and my gauge doesn't go smaller on metric. They might be M3 but they're apparently quite close to 6-32 course. About 8mm long.

Gonna guess m3 x 8mm.

Edit, yep. Attached schematic pictures. M3x8 for plastic to metal and M4x8 for the metal-to-metal pieces. The other pieces of outer trim are the same. Same for control deck trim. "BIND HD TAP TIGHT-P-(三価) 3X8".

Control deck mounting bolts: "SEMUTH UPSET BOLT-W-(三価) M6x20"
stabilizer leg L/R mounting bolts: "SEMIUTH BOLT-W-(三価) M8x20" with "WASHER 8.5x20x1.6T" (assuming you mean the legs that bolt on and not the caster wheels, which seem to bolt in separately directly to the chassis without a "leg". The casters themselves don't seem to be in the owner's manual, apparently.)

Damn @nago , you rock!

I looked through the diamond black manual, and don't think I saw that disassembly picture....or saw it in the diamond blue manual for that matter.

Thank you sincerely for this....it helps. now to get some ordering done.

my pleasure! these forums have been massively helpful to me as I get started so I wanted to be helpful in turn

I uploaded a high-res scan of my Vewlix C manual: https://archive.org/details/vewlix-c-manual -- not sure how much applies to the diamond, but you can be the judge.

Will save a copy to go in my manuals archive, and use it as i source these screws.

The 3x8 tap screws seem hard to find in 50ct....all im seeing is 10 for 2.99 via the hobby sites.
