Title: M8 X 40MM TORX button head screws
Post by: amoore2600 on February 14, 2015, 06:04:51 pm
I need four black M8 X 40MM TORX button head screws to finish up on my Afterburner cab. Tracking these down has been near impossible here in the U.S.A. as I guess this is a European part. If any one can help find me some here in the U.S.A please let me know. Here's what they look like http://www.accuscrews.co.uk/54152-thickbox_default/SHB-M8-40-A2-BL.jpg

would the same ones be used on a super hang on cab?

I would like them to be torxs as they are highly visible and would match the smaller torx screws next to them.

I don't believe they are used on super hang on. I pulled a parts list for super hang on from http://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/S/Super%20HangOn%20Upright%20Owners%20English.pdf

I did not see M8 X 40MM TORX on the parts list.

Thanks for checking.
