  • Supplier of Tek Screw Caps – White 10mm Hex Required

    Posted by Tim Painter on January 3, 2011 at 10:57 pm

    Struggling to find White Cover caps for Tek Screws with 10mm Hex Head – Had to purchase some Tek Screws from Screwfix but some of their range has a 10mm Hex Head and they only carry 8mm Hex caps. Looked online but all seem to be 8mm.

    Anyone suggest any good suppliers of Tek Screws that may carry 10mm Hew White Caps.

    Many thanks
    Tim.

    how far away are you viewing them from?
    i assume with 10mm they are fairly high up, if so, bore a 12mm hole in a piece of 1mm foamex or stiff card, and use a white aerosol spray paint, to paint the heads.

    I had this exact same problem mate. Tried everywhere to buy some but drew a blank. I can report that application via a large hammer makes them fit a treat. Mind, my sign was fairly high up 😉
