Anyone know where I can get a sprue plate screw for a Lyman mold? I inherited a mold that is missing the sprue plate and it's screw. I have extra sprue plates, but no screw.

The screw I need is the slotted screw with the larger diameter shoulder that the sprue plate turns on and the unthreaded end that the lock screw bears on.

But make sure you get the right one. There are two thicknesses of sprue plate and hence two screws differing in the length of the larger diameter (unthreaded) portion. The double cavity mould blocks also have at least two different spacings between sprue holes. If the mould is DC, best check your spare plates for fit while you're at it.

You are only as good as your library.

Thanks for the responses! I'll check my sprue plate and reach out to Lyman for a screw.
