Screws to go on older lightswitches

shamarick, Mar 8, 12:44pm
Hi We are currently getting our house fixed with eqc. The screws that fit into the light switches have been lost or misplaced. They are a screw with a hexagon shaped plastic raised head . If anyone knows where I could get some it would be much appreciated. Have tried Musgroves Thanks

Sorry, PDL 103 no longer available.Suggest to be safe the electrician should use new fittings.

I could do with some of the same, but with 12-sided ivory coloured heads.
I'd replace the whole switches - but perhaps I'm too fussy - I don't like the look of modern stark switches in older homes.Clipsal make a range of "heritage" light switches etc, but these date back to very old styles.

Very good advise, replacing it is a no brainer. you can find something to match your interior.

How many do you need! I have some here.

shamarick, Mar 8, 5:19pm
Hi I think it is 10 we need. We are going to have a look tomorrow if we cant get that many we may have to replace some to new . Thanks

kandjaja, Mar 8, 5:25pm
I have twenty here, allthough one has been cut shorter so it may not be any good. Let me know and I will list if you want.

shamarick, Mar 8, 5:29pm
Ok that sounds great i will let you know tomorrow however if you want to do them all together i will still be happy to bid . Thanks

kandjaja, Mar 8, 5:38pm
What are they worth! I have no idea!

shamarick, Mar 8, 5:52pm
I have no idea asyou obviously cant buy them new . You could just set up an auction all it takes is 2 people to bid. Thanks

shamarick, Mar 9, 5:35pm
Hi went and checked today we need 10 but happy with any amount. Thanks
