Okay, 'bout every time i run the pede, I'm missing a screw...lol..well, it's not really THAT bad, but everytime I take it apart to clean, or to replace something, I come up short on the screws...and I can't find replacement screws ANYWHERE!!! And I HAVE LOOKED!! My LHS has all kinds of small miscellaneous screws, but never the size I need...ju guys know a good source for tiny butt screws like the pede is held together with?

If your a miser like me the hardware store will have the right size and thread but never the right length. cutting screws shorter is a fine art mastered only by trial and error. cause im too lazy to explain it

yeah, the ones I wanted last time were 4x20 mm i think...nothing that small at any place I checked...and the longest the LHS had was 15...too short...it's a pain in the ...I want to eventually drill out everything, so I can use nuts/bolts. LOL

If you need a countersunk screw, you are probably going to have a hard time finding them at a hardware store. I always have a hard time finding them.
If you need any of the other screws, just replace it with a panhead screw. Those can be used in place of most of the screws on the truck.I love the smell of nitro fumes in the morning!
