It is perfect except I am missing one screw that holds my Graflok back to the wood body. It is a flathead slotted screw head, 4mm in diameter. It is 10mm long with 2mm diameter threaded portion. Any information on how to obtain one will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Harry |

Perhaps if you measured in inches rather than mm - it's something like a #4 x 3/4", I believe. I'm not at home to measure mine right now. john |

The head rises above the surface of the Graflok and then with a slight curve becomes flat for the rest of the head dimension. The head is 5/16 inches in diameter. The length is 13/16" long. Most likely I'll have to glue the screw. My main concern is that the head matches. Thanks, Harry |

If it is, email me and I'll send one in a plain brown envelope!

I have also sent you an email. Thank you, Harry |
