Re: [Harp-L] seeking C-64 nut/bolt sets

The screws that Hohner sells for the purpose are:

These screws are intended to engage with threads cut into the bottom reedplate, eliminating the need for nuts. So you'll also need a tap to cut threads into the bottom reedplate.


(if you elect to use nuts then you'll need slightly longer screws; you could buy the longer screws for the Super 64X, or find the right metric size)

Here's what I bought from McMaster Carr a few years ago to perform this task:

Screws: Metric Cheese Head Slotted Machine Screw 18-8 SS, M1.6 Size, 16 mm Length, .35 mm Pitch, Packs of 25

Thread tap: Tin Coated Metric HSS Spiral Point Tap 1.6 X 0.35 mm, D3 Pitch Dia, 2 Flute, 1-5/8" L O'all 

Note the 1.6mm size and .35mm pitch; those are the defining cahracteristics for the screw diameter and thread. Length is the other important consideration. Screw head type and material (Stainless, brass, etc.) are secondday considerations

Reed plates on my Hohner C-64 280C are assembled with pins (nails) into
the composite body. Where can I order nut/bolt sets after opening for
service?
