Woodsrunner build help....

[mrfritz44]

So, the Woodsrunner came together like a charm recently with one exception. While installing the nose cap one of the brass screws sheered off. I received a new cap today but without screws so I headed down to the local hardware store to figure out what I could buy that would allow be to finish the build phase this weekend. In the process of trying many screws in the old and new caps, being very careful not to force any one screw, the closest we came to deducing the thread and pitch was 4-40. This seemed to be corroborated in another thread in this forum where another person also sheered off their nose cap screw.

That all said, any 4-40 we tried would only get about flush with the opposite side of the hole and then stop on both caps.

Before I screw up a second nose cap, no pun intended, who knows the size of these brass screws?

Yep, tried, and emailed, and texted from the hardware store. They're busy and I get it, so I thought I'd try here.

Try a phone call. They're notoriously slow in responding to emails. They will respond, but they get so many, it may take up to a week. Since your problem involves a build issue, I think leaving a phone message will get you a quicker answer than an email.
