So, I lost one of the screws from my drop forward at the field today and now my flatline is falling off. I looked at home depot and some other places and they don't seem to have set screws that would fit.
Does anyone know where I could buy one, or have a spare one lying around they could sell me? If you're unsure of the size, the head fits a 3/32 allen wrench.
Thanks to anyone that can help! If you know of a link that sells something appropriate, that would be great too, most of the sites I found would only sell 100+ though or only in non-stainless steel.

home depot dosent have much in the ways of misc. fasteners.
try a local hardware store, something small, like an Ace, or True Value.
I work at an Ace, and we have an entire aisle devoted to nuts, bolts, screws, clips, pins, you name it.
thats probably 70% of our business. people that need a random bolt or nut...

Anytime I need any type screw for any marker I have found it at Ace Hardware.
They have every screw known to man.
But bring the drop with you of course when you go. :tard:

Also try out autoparts stores. I have a napa next to me and so far they have had all the stuff I want eccept screws under a 6. Then my true value has everything else.

Ace was a flop, nothing that small, but True Value came up trumps.
Thanks, I'd never even set foot in a True Value before today!

I find that very odd that home depot would not carry those screws. Mabe you should look harder.

See if there is a FASTENAL store near you. If they dont have it in stock try to search down the screw size and let me know, i could probably get it for you.

Word, thanks for the offer. I'm heading back to TrueValue tomorrow to try again, the screw I got is like 1/8 of a mm too damn big ;(
