Hullo again all, bit of a conundrum which I need help to solve. The windscreen hinge mechanism on my Prefect is retained by four round head set screw. Two have gone missing, probably vibrated out during the journey to the sprayers. They are 12mm long and about 5.3 mm in diameter, thought at first that they were 1BA, but they are 20 TPI and not 28. Looked on all the charts but can't identify them . Anyone out there got any ideas-cheers all _________________ best car ever Daimler V8 saloon 1965, cost me £450. first car Model y Ford cost £15.cars ove 50 years A40 Devon, a30, 35 , consul 375,mini cooper 1962 herald,viva hb Opel ascona, austin1100 capri mk2 many cortinas, saab

The next size below 1/4" UNC would be 10x24 which has 24 TPI so it's most likely 1/4 UNC

Hullo again, Thanks for your interest and replies Thought it might be that myself at first but 1/4 is too big diameter. Outer thread diameter is 5.3 mm/0,21 inches which is closer to 1BA, but TPI is wrong. Real head scratcher this one.
