Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2011 4:14 am Post subject: EURO02 part supplied wrong

I'm just about to assemble the pitch push-rod, but I find that the EURO02 parts supplied are not as required. The parts list calls out set-screws (ie fully-threaded) but what's in the (as yet unopened) packet is bolts (ie part-threaded). It will be impossible to use these for the pushrod ends as the check nuts need to run right down near the heads to lock onto the CS17 parts.



I've phoned the factory but am getting no answer. If I don't get a reply to my message soon, does anyone know what the specification of the 5/16"-24 x 2" set-screws is? I suspect they are not just off-the-shelf UNF but may be HT or other higher spec.

Rowland,



I'm close behind you (a race of snails?) and went to check my EUR002 screws.

And I share your problem. Kit 461 was also supplied with bolts instead 

of screws.

I'll be interested in your solution.



Regards,

Jan de Jong

I had the same problem a while ago and John Wheeler acknowledged that there had been an incorrect supply of these bolts.  He sent me some new ones out free of charge.



Do not try to source these yourself unless you know exactly what the requirements are as they are just ever so slightly important!

This happened to me as well. I got replacements to these important bolts

from Europa in the same fashion as Phil.

Jan - Mike McClean at Europa read my e-mail posting and is getting the right screws sent to me on Monday. Good service!
