Engine Screws
 

Where in the US can I get 3.5mm X 16mm Socket Head Cap Screws for the head of an R/B/Nova Rossi/JP Engine?

Most hardware stores should be able to get you them cheap enough. Other than that try Trinity (not my personal choice though:D )

No 3.5mm there.

These people are excellent to deal with and should have anything you need.

You are right no there. Try "Motion Industries", in my area their office phone # (310) 327 5070. There are Nationwide supplier.

SCREWS
 

Also try RCSCREWZ.COM they have a package in a nice box for $39.00( an assortment)

Its a hidden secret;) . Maybe tell you after we talk another 100 times.:lol:

The screw tread size of the Nova based engines is 3mm, not 3.5. I replace all my screws on my motors with allen head ones, easier to remove. Also, in case you want to repalce the ones for the backplate, those are 2.5mm.

Ordered them from that site. Thanks for the help.

My metric screw checker had them at 3.5mm with a .6 pitch. Engine is an RB Concept C5. Nova Rossi based.

Jeff is talking about 3.5 cc engine but not 2.1cc engine.

all NR based 3.5cc engine has 3.5mm screw for headsink.

by the way, the 2.1cc engine backplate screws are 2.6mm instead.

don't know what kind of alloy steel it is, so don't know if it is strong enough. maybe you can call to find out.

Amazingly, when placing an order With Ashford Hobbyh, I found that RB has a replacement screw kit as an RB part number. Includes 9 screws, four for the head, four for the backplate and one for the carburetor cross bolt. Go figure!
