indicator stalk - screws

[junkyardjim]

Any one know where I can get a new indicator stalk screw?
or what the correct size/thread pitch the screw is?

One has fallen out and gone missing and cannot find another of the same size

I'm not sure if the remaining one is original either!

I have tried Heritage & C&C and a few other places but no one does just the screws.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

I have replaced missing ones by finding a bolt with the correct thread and filing the head to make it narrower and then cutting a slot for a screwdriver in the top with a hacksaw.
Gets you out of trouble

I had to get some screws turned down on a lathe to fit the hole. Might be able to get some more done if you get stuck and aren't in a massive rush

Thanks for your responses guys

Toad - This is an option if all else fails, just struggling to find anything, screw or bolt with the correct thread going to go
to a fastener supplies next week I'll see what they have thanks

67 westy - I may be in touch if I cant find anything thanks!

Screw pitch and lead distance? hi I am designing a linear actuator for cutting plastic sheet. The actuator travel length is 1.5 feet. It employs a very thin cutting blade and it cuts micron thin sheet so practically very very low load application.
