i have been and am looking a lot so I am not being lazy but I am going to replace my Gus mods contacts with flathead screws because they are easier to deal with and I have damaged my originals and the authentics are like €15 a pop. I buy authentic mods but that is to much for machine screws.

I am in the uk so any links for uk sites is needed. The specs are:

M4x7mm brass machine screws. I'm not great with the heads but I want most contact and I believe that the ones I'd prefer are 'cheesehead???' with flathead inserts. Rounded ones are not so great.

I can get 6 and 8mm but they are not perfect so I think 7mm is what I need.

Many thanks in advance.

Dude, Are you looking for positive pins to replace the tiny fuses and copper contact? If you are, almost any Nemesis style positive pin screws in perfectly.

If not, I don't know what contacts you mean. :) Give some more deets....

Sos bud, no I mean the hexagonal contact which hits the negative of the battery in both the kiss and lord switch.
I just like spares and I really don't like replacing with that awkward contact. I just want to replace the ones I've
Damaged trying to get off with the description I posted above.

Between me and you, the fuse is a moot point because I have (to my shame) tried to blow those fuses with low enough but they never, ever trip.
I don't care anymore and they are just a piece of the circuit now. Beautiful nonetheless, but let me know if you ever blow one. :thumb:

Yup. I have 4 Gus mods in regular use and haven't blown a single one. Most of my builds are 0.25-0.6, so low but not stupid. I was going to buy 50 extra fuses as they are crazy cheap in bulk, but the 10 or so fuses I have will likely last many years.
