hey G. :)

thank you, I already got my BWPs, they are awesome!

while I was adjusting the screws I found something intriguing. there is one broken screw.

Well, Ok, probably theres no problem, I thought.
But then, I was wandering:

"In a different pressure because of mountain hight, in a different temperature... hum... in a lot of different conditions will the broken screw handle it?"

well, I dont want to find out. Im going to buy a new one, and I would like to know what are those screws made of?
iron, steel, Inox,
any special thing to consider when Im at the store?

thanks

PS: you should send some extra screws with deliveries. they are easily losable.
PS2: just another thingy: all the 8 screws for boot adjustment look old and dirty. I dont really care, its a screw, but it was better if they were shiny :)

Hi rob, Mark here.


i beleive they are stainless steel pan head screws with a 5mm hex hole in the center. i imagine you could take it to a hardware store to get an identical matching one if you are concerned.

I matched up some bomber screws.......but the head on them was too big for the toe bail.....Boo
