Hello all,

just a simple question, but I can't find the answer...so...
Can anyone tell me what size the screws are that hold the light lens to the chromed body are. There are four of them to each lens, 1" long, philips head, but I don't know the thread size. I need new screws and also to drill and tap a couple of broken ones.
With many thanks, George.

I think they are these...but may need to be longer -

it'l be a BA thread possibly 4BA ? I can't recall the size of the screw at mo but a quick google will find you a BA thread sizes chart so you can check....

Just to say many thanks for your help....have now ordered screws. Great stuff guys.
Best regards, George.

Another supplier. I use Westfield because you can buy in smaller quantities.

As has been said before, socket head screws are a good idea because the Phillips head screws can become worn and difficult to remove.
