Cambo Ground Glass Retaining Clip Screws

[_T_]

I recently bought some official replacement screws for my cambo graflok back through b&h and they sucked. Made of cheap metal and stripped during installation due to crappy phillips drive.

So I measured the screws and bought a better replacement from mcmaster carr. Just received and installed them and they work wonderfully.

The correct size of screw if you want to get some for yourself is M2.5 x 0.45 thread 6mm long.

I went with the hex head because they have less chance of stripping but you can get whatever you want.

Also the screws from mc master cost $0.40 compared to the cambo’s $8 each and they arrived next day compared to making a special order from b&h and waiting 2-4 weeks for them to ship.

Hope this helps any other cambo users out there.

To be clear, you mean the heads are hex drive, right? (Not hexagonal in shape). Not a Cambo owner but thank you for putting out this very useful information.

May be a bit over the top but I think McMaster-Carr is a national treasure.

Yes hex drive like you might tighten with an allen wrench. The heads are not hexagonal in shape but round

Thank you! Those should hold nicely and not strip out.

There's a lot of good stuff under the Calumet badge! My 210 Apo-Sironar N and 115 Grandagon are both Calumet.

The only thing about McMaster-Carr is they don't quote shipping, you find out later. They don't gouge so it was just getting past that first order.
