Hello There,
Seth here. The 18v7 drivers that are deprecated seem to have very small connection holes for fastening. I went through my entire inventory of bolts and nuts. I cannot find a 2.18mm-0.086" bolt diameter.
I know they exist. I understand that these were made a while back when 2.18mm bolts may have been abundant. Now, I am having research errors when trying to find specific bolts for these drivers.
I understand they are deprecated. I am not looking to keep working with them in the future. But for robot mfg. on a 3D Printer, I am trying to configure things correctly with a CAD program of my choosing. The CAD program can do all sorts of nifty stuff. I am happy with it for now.
I just do not know how to source the bolts. I know this is not your issue. If anyone knows currently where to look for 0.086" bolt diameters, please let me know.
Seth
P.S. I will research more on Pololu motor drivers in the future but until then, any advice on how to research the diameter needed to finish this bolt would be more than nice.
Should I just use 2mm?
I found many people claiming to have 2mm bolts but when I order them, and this must be during the shipment process, they all seem to enlarge a bit. Just having fun at a Saturday looking for bolts of random diameter to meet the requirements of the 18v7.
That link directly shows the “going-towards” 2.2mm sizing in diameter.
I am being a stickler here but I will research other hole diameters for sizing soon.

Hello.
It seems like you already figured this out, but just to make the answer clear for anyone else who reads this thread, the 0.086″ (2.18mm) diameter mounting holes included on many of our boards are primarily intended for use with #2 or M2 size screws.
You can find the selection of nuts and screws we offer here, which includes several #2-56 screws, but we do not carry M2 screws:

Yeppers,
I figured it out. I even found some large distributors that sell that size which is why I brought it up.
At first, I kept getting the output of 2.5mm for diameters referenced when researching.
Seth
P.S. Anyway, thank you
