Dunlop straplock screws - know where I can find just one?

sleeplessknight · #1 08-17-2010, 08:50 PM

I cross-posted this as a "WTB" in the Accessories section, posting here in case there's an online source for just the screws that I haven't found through judicious Googling...

----
So, on a whim I picked up a set of Dunlop Straplocks from a store that's a good 2 hour drive from me, and neglected to make sure the set was 100% complete. I got home, pulled out The New Axe(tm) to get the straplocks installed, and promptly found out The Hard Way that I was missing JUST the screw. If anyone has an actual Dunlop Straplock screw (I don't think I can use just any ol' hardware store one because of the undersized head) lying around not being used, I'd be happy to buy it off you for a couple bucks or whatever. Any color, doesn't matter to me, but it has to be THE Dunlop straplock screw so I can actually use it.

Many thanks in advance!

There are some hardware-store screws with heads that will fit. Also, you can file the edges of a regular screw head until it fits.

woodworkers call them "trim screws"

Thanks everyone, I've emailed Dunlop customer support and am awaiting their reply. Chasarms, if they don't get back to me I'll totally take you up on your offer, thank you so much!

Did you ever get a reply from Dunlop?

I'm in the same boat, lost the original mounting screw for a Dunlop straplock that's been sitting around in the original package for years. Went to mount it on a bass, and the screw was missing. Figured I'd have to mill down a normal screw to get one to fit (which is what the original screw from the other straplock looks like), but if these small-ovalhead screws are available, would prefer to just buy one.

Chasarms, if these special screws are manufactured and you've got a box of them, would like to purchase one from you. Even if they're just a fraction of a cent, I'd like to pay you for postage.

I've got some extra Dunlop screws around. I'd be happy to send a few to those who need 'em.

Just PM me.

I e-mailed Dunlop regarding a replacement (I stripped one out installing it on my OLP) and they sent me a full set AND a box of picks. It took a couple of days for a reply, but they eventually replied.

EDIT: saw that you e-mailed them....

I did the same thing. I emailed em, and a week later (today) i got a package in the mail with 6 screws, a sticker pack, and a huge bag of picks.

That was awesome of them.
