Sourcing replacement plastic T-screws for EFP camera vests

19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • Plastic T-screws with hex heads are commonly used throughout EFP vests and socket blocks, and many require periodic replacement due to wear.
  • These screws can be sourced from commercial hardware suppliers including Tiffen, McMaster, and specialized industrial fastener retailers.
  • Aluminum T-screws designed for camera equipment mounts offer a more durable alternative to plastic versions and are resistant to breaking.
  • T-screws are available in multiple colors beyond standard black, providing options for customization or visual distinction of components.

Depends on

  • The exact specifications and sizing for T-screws used on older EFP vest models are not definitively documented in the thread.
  • Availability and pricing may vary significantly by region and supplier.
  • The thread does not establish a clear consensus on whether plastic or aluminum T-screws are preferable for all applications on the vest.
