Screwed
Hi all, I've got my crazy lil micro here but i've found I need two of the screws need to be slightly longer - But I cant find what type of screw it is.
It seems to be M3 thread.. but comparing the screws to my D4 - which are also M3 the D4 screws seem slightly wider and have a slightly bigger thread. Which way in the sizes of screw do i go? I assume M4?

M3. i.e. 3mm in girth, i think the M stands for Machine rather than Metric - but whichever you call it, its a metric machine screw. So to go smaller you need a smaller number.

I don't mean smaller like this "M3" vs "M3"

I think you will find they maybe 2.6, M stands for metric, these ones are Metric Fine.

Try Modelfixings if no one has any spare. No minimum order from them.

But how long, in metric or imperial?
think our old yoke had a 2.5mm screw in the diff, what size screw in the D4 diff? Bet you could force a B4 screw in there, if we bugger a thread on our B4 I can usually slip a 3mm into it..........  so theys a little bit smaller

Thanks for the link Terry, and DCM too! They are unfortuantly closed til lthe 2nd but they are in my favorites for a las resort.
They are metric M2.5 screws.. and they need to be over 16mm (i dont mind dremeling them down abit). D4 diff screw sizes are 2x25 but have a 'flat' part on the shaft so I cant use it unfortuantly. I dont really wanna force anything in there as the car is a peice of art so i wanna keep it all nice and shiney haha. If anyone has something please let me know.

Ah, yes, not really much of an option there. You really do need long M2.5 screws. sorry, you probably already worked that out. Longest ones I got are 10mm
