Help identifying old pinion grub screw size
Help identifying old pinion grub screw size
I have some old 48p pinion gears of unknown brand that take the smallest allen wrench I own.
I measured the following with digital calipers:
0.0495" allen wrench size at the flats (1.26mm)
Grub screw diameter: 0.110" (2.8mm)
Grub screw length 3.12mm
I can't figure out what sae or metric size these are to get some replacements as these grub screws strip easily.
Any ideas? They might be old robinson racing pinions.

It's a 4-40 grub screw, .050" allen.
I wouldn't think they would be too hard to find.
The DuBro wall at your LHS will likely have some.

If you want to buy from a US seller on ebay, these guys are top notch. I buy a lot of hardware from them.

Re: Help identifying old pinion grub screw size
Don't forget about McMaster Carr ... lol... they can get just about any screw, any size, and multiple materials...
I literally bought stainless M3 and 4-40 hardware for my RC10s and B6s... 100 pcs/box for all the the sizes... it can add up a bit, but I can do like 10+ cars of each now. I should be stocked for the next 10+ years.
