Ursa Mini Screws & Bolts - LOST, where to buy?

PostSat Mar 25, 2017 3:30 pm

Hey!

I've lost one of my screws to the top handle of my Ursa Mini. I would like to get hold of a replacement, economically, in the UK. I realise that B&H sell a replacement kit for $25 but I would also have to pay shipping & import tax which brings it up to an absurd waste of money for a single screw.

Anyone know where in the UK I could get this, or cheaply online in Europe, or China, just cheaply?

Cheers

B&H has a replacement screw kit for the UM.

Thanks Denny for your input. As written in my original post, I'm aware that B&H have a replacement kit but $25 + Shipping to the UK + Import tax = absurd waste of money on a single screw. I was hoping someone knew where in the UK I could get it

You should be able to buy that kit locally in the U.K. from a BMD reseller.

I received spares from my local support office in Australia, New Magic. One of my screws started to burr, so needed and new one. I just had to contact them, sent an email with details (photos in my case) and had them sent out pronto.

I have to say my experience dealing with New Magic over the years has been really great. They are always helpful and quick to respond.
