Countersunk screw DIN 963 M2x10 + flat nuts (10 pcs)

Small but decisive: DIN 963 M2x10 countersunk screws with flat nut

There are parts that go unnoticed until you need them and don’t have them. The DIN 963 countersunk screw in metric M2 is one of those elements that any slot or model hobbyist ends up searching for sooner or later: flat head that sits flush with the surface, clean profile, without interference with other parts. This pack includes 10 units of M2x10 screw plus its corresponding flat nut, ready to use.

Product features

• Standard: DIN 963 — countersunk head screw with straight slot.
• Metric: M2 (diameter of 2 mm).
• Length: 10 mm under head.
• Contents: 10 screws + 10 flat nuts.
• Reference: CXM363.

What is it used for in the hobby?

The countersunk head is the right choice when we need the screw not to protrude from the fastening surface. In the world of slot and modelling, this has very specific applications:

• Fixing bodies and chassis covers where a cylindrical head would rub or prevent correct assembly.
• Joining chassis parts, mounts or motor supports when the available space is very limited.
• Mounting dioramas and static models where the aesthetics of the assembly matter as much as the strength.
• Repairs and customisations of all types of scale projects where metric M2 is standard.

The included flat nut: why it matters

The pack includes one flat nut for each screw, making it a self-contained set for assembly. The flat nut distributes the load over a larger surface and prevents marking or damaging delicate materials such as technical plastics or resins. There’s no need to look for anything else: everything comes together and in the right quantity to maintain a good stock in the workshop drawer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a DIN 963 screw and other types of countersunk screws?

The DIN 963 standard defines flat countersunk head screws with a straight slot (flat screwdriver). It is the most classic and widespread version. There are variants with Phillips heads (DIN 965) or Torx, but the 963 remains a common reference in modelling and precision repairs due to its simplicity and availability.

What tool is used to tighten these screws?

As they are DIN 963, they have a straight slot. They are tightened with a flat screwdriver of the appropriate width for M2 heads, which is a very small slot. We recommend using watchmaker or precision screwdrivers to avoid damaging the head.

Are they compatible with standard slot chassis holes?

The M2 metric is very common in slot chassis, both in technical plastic and metal or fibre. Nevertheless, it is advisable to check the diameter of the through hole before assembly, as some manufacturers work with imperial screws or slightly different metrics.

Can I use these screws in resin or plastic models?

Yes, always with caution. In materials such as resin or PETG, it is advisable not to overtighten to avoid cracking the material. The included flat nut helps distribute the pressure and reduces the risk of marking the surface.

How many units does the pack contain exactly?

The pack contains 10 DIN 963 M2x10 countersunk screws and 10 M2 flat nuts, one for each screw.

These M2x10 countersunk screws (DIN 963) with flat nuts are a must-have for any slot car workshop, scale modelling bench or diorama builder. The flush-head design keeps assemblies clean and compact, making them ideal for chassis fixing, bodywork mounting and precision modelling tasks. Pack of 10 screws and 10 flat nuts, reference CXM363, available at Ministry of Hobby.
