    Tiny Speedo Screw

    Missing one of the two tiny screws that holds the faceplate on the speedo on my 80 SG. Looks to be a 2 mm pan head type screw. Tried the nuts and bolts at ACE with no luck, they only go down to 3 mm.

    Watch shop? Who sells tiny little screws like that?

    Try a hobby shop or electronics shop. May be able to find one from an old computer.

      Try one of the fastener companies like Fastenal.

          One

          I looked and looked, I've worked so many tachs and speedos, I've extra faces, needles, rims, dampeners, rings etc.

          I found one screw, could you use it ?

            Thanks for the good suggestions. Think I'll start with Walmart and work my way through the options. I assume eyeglasses screw is metric since everything is made in Asia these days. Thanks for the kind offer Done, and thanks for taking time to search! Give me a day or two to try and find one locally and if I can't get one I'll call.
