Lost Screws for Tachometer Face Plate

[MRblue442]

Hello,

I have a 1976 and my screws that hold the face plate on in my tachometer vibrated out. I was able to get the glass off but the screws are gone... not sure where they went. Anyway, does anyone know where I can get more and or what size those are?

Thanks!

Thanks for the links. I looked through those but was unable to find actual info on screw sizes... Or where anyone may have got more. I assume I could order some from http://www.microfasteners.com/ I think they are 2.5M but I don't know the thread count...

The part that I was hoping would help was the link to the Joel Levine co.

My 70-71 instruments used thin metal faceplates. Very tiny screws, like M1.8.
72-on used thicker plastic faceplates. The screws may be larger. Don't know...

hmm ya I tried a M2 and it went right through the hole. M2.5 was good but seemed to bind. Making me think I had the thread count wrong. I will keep buying them till I find one that works!
