Onderwerp: Re: OT : M3*0.6mm pitch screws
Yes, through a specialized firm, Citrotech www.citrotech.nl
They also rebuild and remanufacture hydraulic components for classic
Citroens.
A little OT trivia about French metric, until 1968 they used their own
metric system for small screws < M6.
Right... That explains a lot.
I'm having the same problems getting M5 for
my Citroen DS from
1967...when
I've not looked, can you still get the tap and die in the right pitch?
If not, M5 is large enough in diameter to be not too difficult to screwcut
on a
lathe. I guess that would be OK if you need 1 or 2 of
them, less fun if
you need
100.
