The History Kid Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I must not be very good in looking for screws on the internet. I've been wanting to replace some of the Tor-X screws on my older reference line with the copper ones that they're using on the new Reference line. Apparently even finding the old black ones isn't being kind to me. The nomenclature parts gave me was: 1065784 - M3.5 X 20 CAP SCREW COPPER (THREAD FORMING, STEEL,) Has anyone had any luck finding these around somewhere? (Klipsch support was very adamant they weren't going to sell me any. lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I did find this: DIY Copper Plating. Might get you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I would just look for some copper colored paint for the ones you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Heard of Torx and Torx with the pin in center but never Tor-X. Something new or spelling error ? If Ace or True value don't have it in stock they can normally get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just say "torx", but at least three hardware stores around me will just look at you goofy if you say it that way. lol 1 hour ago, babadono said: copper screws? = Marketing dept. run amuck.

Yeah, but isn't black slimming? So you can fit more of them in there. Everyone knows that....(dumbazz!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Torx is a trademark... the 'star' isn't, but the same bits fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
