Sprint Fan Motor Grub Screw Size

Anybody know the size and thread of the grub screw that holds the fan onto the shaft of the heater motor? It's for a '72 Sprint.

Ah apologies, I should have said heater motor. I've corrected my post.

Rob - pulled a spare heater I have and, assuming it is the same, I measured the grub screw at #10-32. It needed a 3/32 hex key to remove. The screw also fit nicely in my m5-0.8 sizer, which makes sense as the 10-32 is just a hair smaller. Posting a couple pictures to confirm we're talking about the same grub screw.
