Replacement screws for Dunlop Straplocks?

[hooky_lowdown]

Anyone know the screw size that will fit in a Dunlop straplock? After moving straplocks from bass to bass, the heads on the two screws are now stripped and I can't turn them anymore - infact they are a mess so I've had to chuck them. Need new screws, but can't find anything that fits with the small head size needed?

I just got a pack of mixed screws from the pound shop there was some in that the right size not much help as I don't know the exact size

I think they have a narrower head than standard screws of the same thread size, so  if you can't get the real thing you might need to find a screw that fits through the hole and then grind the head down so that it goes down as far as it should.

That's pretty much what I do.  Despite the power of modern search engines, I've never personally found a way of finding narrow headed screws -  or where they quote the head diameter at all.

After some research I've just ordered some self-tapping screws (size 6 - 3.5mm) from evilbay. These should do the job.
