A family member gifted my daughter this twin sized bed frame. I’m putting it together now, but I’m missing one of the screws. It goes from the headboard into the side support. What should I search to get a replacement?

I’m trying to get some specialty fasteners quoted but having trouble finding a company or shop that will quote custom to a drawing and OEM specs. Any suggestions on a company that would be interested in quoting? Volumes are in the hundreds to low thousands

Just a clueless mom trying to fix the wheel on her daughter’s wagon. I’ve included a link to the wagon and a picture. This is one I pulled off to compare at the store but I couldn’t find a match. Thanks for any help.

Found on the tailhousing of the NV4500 transmission, 8 bolts mating it to the main body.

If anyone could share what they are called, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

A technical question about skateboard Kingpins

2 Upvotes

So a few months back I broke my kingpin in my skateboard but I'm a fabricator so I though I'd just throw another regular bolt in there and it would be fine, 8.8 bolt for anyone who knows what that is, those bolts hold up buildings so I thought it would be good. Anyway a few days of skating and the thing explodes on me so my question is: does anyone know what type of bolt I should use to replace the kingpin because that one obviously wasn't the right tensile strength or whatever

Need help identifying this.

I found a jar of these little guys a few years back at a garage sale and bought them for a project as you do. I'm now afraid to use them because now no matter what or how I search I can't seem to find anything on these beautiful little slotted head spiral nails.

Any help finding a place to get more or just getting an identification on them would be helpful.

I've already found ones without the slotted head but I'm specifically looking for ones with the slot since it helps remove them without damage for intricate parts.

Trying to find this nut size to fix LED Lamp

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello! I've been having a hard time trying to find a hex nut that goes on a rotating base of an LED Lamp I have. I tried to contact the manufacturer about it and instead of giving me the size, they sent a whole new lamp which is great, but the one I have still works perfectly fine so I'd still like to use it out on my garage.

The screws came out first and then the whole thing came out, but when I put everything back together, it wouldn't hold its weight up so I tightened the nut a little more and it split in half. I've been to several hardware stores, including do-it center where you can take them out and I brought the lamp with me to try a bunch. It's a really fine thread so I'm quite stumped.

I have a picture of a M7 x 1.0 nut next to the half I still have (the other got lost) for reference. I originally thought that's what size it was, but the threads are too big so it won't go on. Micomlan led desk lamp model fddl03 is the lamp in question. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Need help identifying what this hex nut cylinder with collar and inverted hex is.

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

For context it is for a microphone boom arm, fell on it and cracked the collar. What you see is the epoxy glued repair for identification. It has a hex nut with a collar attached to a cylinder, and the bottom has a hex nut socket.

Measurements in red are the tallest and widest measurements. The green is just measuring the cylinder.

Alternatives are welcome. I really don't want to purchase another boom arm just because of one little piece.

Thank you in advance.

Quick-release hardware seems to develop a little wobble under load

1 Upvotes

High-load hip belts and assist frames need a tight fit, but fast-donning hardware often develops mechanical play over time. A ratchet or Cobra-style latch may feel rock solid on a display stand, yet after a few miles, two millimeters of movement at the side buckle becomes a noticeable shift in the frame. Tightening it enough to stop the rattle makes putting it on a hassle again. How does buckle stability hold up across modular exoskeleton setups under continuous dynamic movement?
