I bought a chinese capsule and appears to be smaller screw holes compare to other Chinese capsules and also seems like I need a bigger saddle because the saddle holes are farther apart. Below us the link of what I bought, thanks...Tim Campbell said:That also depends on the capsule or mount. Akg CK12 would be M1x3mm, Neumann K67 would be M1.7x6mm.
Many of the chinese or boutique builders have opted for their own sizes. Could you be more specific for what you are looking for and why?
Ok, thanks.rogs said:These two saddles are designed for BM800 body fixings - but should have the appropriate holes spacings:

Should work OK with either 5 or 6mm M1.6 screws... ( you can only insert around 3mm max of the screw into the capsule itself)
Thanks for the screw suggestions! I think the M1.6 6mm should be fine for the saddle I’ve got.
I purchased 1.6mm screws from a very quick shipping US seller on eBay = M1.6 x 5mm, Phillips Pan Head Screws, A2 304 18-8, Stainless Steel | eBayThanks for the screw suggestions! I think the M1.6 6mm should be fine
This seller has lots of other sizes. Just saying. James - K8JHR
If you are in the States I will share my quick go to for fasteners:Thanks for the screw suggestions! I think the M1.6 6mm should be fine for the saddle I’ve got.
These are some unusual screws, and I don’t have them in my home collection. My main hobby is carpentry, and that’s why I usually order screws, fasteners, and wall plugs from scrooz.com.au. However, I do not need such screws on a regular basis, and therefore why I don’t have them.
Where do you usually buy these screws from? Can I find them on Amazon, or should I look for more specific websites? I want to find one of the best quality, so the sound is perfect.
