About screws for Fluke 10, 11 & 12

[Falkra]

Hello,

I repaired two Fluke meters, model 10 & 12, and the most of the case screws are missing.
The service manual says H 1-4 SCREW,PH,P,THD FORM,STL,5-14,.750 832246
832246 Being the fluke part.

In another topic I discovered if I remember well that those screws are custom made.

Are they some possible replacements with standard models ? Did you try it ? I can't find matching screws in my parts box and don't want to damage the plastic.

Anyone ?

I've never been able to find anything in my junk hardware box or in the hardware store with the same pitch and profile.  At least they're common to most late-model Fluke series (8x, 17x and some 7x [edit: also 18x]), so they can be scavenged from various parts units.

If you don't plan to switch back to the original screw in the same plastic boss, I've successfully used No. 4 rounded-head thread-forming screws as a substitute, which are readily available on McMaster-Carr: https://www.mcmaster.com/#tapping-screws/=082385dbf5c14f938feb2f7f804a6e75jrzu5tp2 . Typically, the original Fluke screws don't extend the full length of the plastic boss, so in the past I've repaired a Fluke 189 with sheared plastic bosses by using a longer 1" screw, and padding out any excess length using a plastic washer on top: https://www.mcmaster.com/91545a210 .
