Perfection Flick 'Em end float grubscrew
Hello all,
I have a Perfection Fick 'Em which seems to have a non-original end float grubscrew as far as I can tell. It is quite a bit over length at 6mm, leaving a lot sticking out and it seems a little loose fitting.
I'd like to replace it with a suitably sized one but have no idea what the thread size is (It's noticeably smaller in diameter than a trudex/rapidex) so wondered if anyone here might be able to let me know what I need?
Thanks
Steve

I'd telephone Garry Mills on Monday, he'll know for sure...It's bound to be a BA, though.

I suspect it will be 6BA, readily available on that well known auction site.

Re: Perfection Flick 'Em end float grubscrew
Thank you Gents - I think you're both right.
The grubscrew I have measures up at 0.106" diameter - 6BA comes in at 0.110" according to the charts I have looked at. That might be why it's a little loose in the hub. A 5/32 6BA grubscrew looks like it might just be the jobbie.
I'll pop on the bay and get some ordered and report back.
Cheers
Steve

If you're stuck I've got a few at 6mm long and I'll pop one in the post if you PM me your address. They are fairly easy to shorten if needed using a fine toothed saw (I use a razor saw) or a Dremmel.
Quot homines, tot sententiae.

Thanks for the kind offer Sean - I've just pulled the trigger on a pack of 10 at 3.9mm. If these are any use to you and save some time grinding you're welcome to a few.
Cheers

Thanks Steve - it only takes a couple of minutes so I'm fine with what I've got.

Re: Perfection Flick 'Em end float grubscrew
Hats off to you chaps for the advice and info
I just loaded up one of the new grubscrews and the reel is spinning for over a minute before I've even lubed it - what a difference
I am hoping to give it an outing in a couple of weeks time and get my fishing journal started
Cheers

What thread was it in the end? Perhaps we should record them all??

Hi Nobby,
It was a 6BA x 5/32 that I went with - the difference when compared withthe old one is amazing.
If anyone else needs one let me know as I now have a few spares.
Cheers
