Overview
Item TKR1333 is Tekno RC's M3x40mm flat head screw, supplied ten to a bag with a black finish. This is the same long M3 hardware Tekno packs in the EB48.2, EB48.3, EB48SL, ET48, ET48.3, MT410, NB48, NB48.3, NT48, NT48.3, SCT410 and SCT410.3 kits.
At 40mm, these screws are used where a fastener has to pass through several parts before it threads home, so they take real load. Keeping a fresh bag on hand means a stretched or rounded screw is a two-minute fix instead of a lost race.
Key Features
- M3 x 40mm flat head cap screws with a black finish
- Ten screws per bag
- Factory Tekno RC hardware, item number TKR1333
- Countersunk flat head profile seats flush with the part surface
- Hex drive head for use with standard metric hex drivers
Performance Benefits
- Correct Tekno length and thread pitch for full engagement in the locations it was designed for
- Flush heads keep arms, links and bodywork clear of fastener heads
- Crisp hex sockets let you torque screws properly without rounding them out
- Replacing worn long screws keeps stacked assemblies clamped and shimmed as intended
Usage Notes
- Check your kit manual or exploded view for the locations that call for M3x40mm flat head screws
- Start long screws by hand so the threads pick up straight through every part in the stack
- Seat the hex driver fully and tighten evenly rather than overtightening into composite parts
- Retire any screw with a rounded socket or damaged thread
