Having a hell of a time finding compatible fittings for the Hiwin 20mm series of guides and rails. According to the spec sheet, and confirmed by measurements, the thread seems to be a metric 6mm X .75mm. What is available is a 6mm X 1mm fitting, at least as far as I've found. Either one of the blocks I ordered was missing a fitting, or I misplaced it, but either way I need to pick up some new ones, and straight ones at that instead of the 45 degree ones that were supplied. Anyone have any advice where to find these things?

Hi,

Eric ('Widgitmaster' Eric... ) was looking for the same size IIRC, he was able to get them somewhere near him. You might have a search and see if he mentions where he got them. If you get real stuck, I have some - let me know & I can send 'em over.

Best regards,

Jason

Edit - Widgitmaster found them at an auto parts store...
