Husqvarna Case Screws

[Martha Steward]

I have a number of 141 Huskies missing top cover screws and different case screws. They are ridiculously priced if purchasing individually. Does anyone know a good source of AM screws for these saws. I have tried the local hardware store with mixed results.
Thank you,
Martha Steward

With the consumer saws- often it is easier to use what you can find.
Hardware store fixings- but they need to be metric.
You will not have the luxury of stepped shanks so the fixing remains in the top cover- but they will hold the covers in place.
May not be Husqvarna black, might be zinc coated- but they will still work.

If I have saws show up with missing bolts and they used to be flatheat slot or phillips screws- I often swap them out for hex drive cap head or T27 fixings.

Thank you. I will try that.

Not sure what it is like over there, but here- I can buy divided plastic containers with various length hex drive cap screws in several diameters from 3mm to 5mm and buy them cheaply online.
Perhaps somewhere like Amazon provides such an option over there? 500 piece packs are quite handy for Husqvarna fixings.
