[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1395788, member: 13598"] Just like in our system there are "usual" coarse and fine threads with metric fasteners. M3 = Metric, 3 mm diameter. -08 = length. The thread pitch, threads per mm, is not included. You have to guess. Just like if I told you to get a 1/4" screw. Which of the "normal" tpi is it? 20? 28? Not knowing will require a second trip to the store unless you buy all combinations containing the two variables, assuming of course the store you choose has the right one to begin with. Normal convention requires something like M3-.5 x 8. Or M3-.35 x 8. So be sure when you go you get one of everything. [/QUOTE]
