Hi Guys. Can anyone help please
While moving my XT to a different mount.
I have managed to loose the small screw that holds the contact Pad to the mounting bracket.
does anyone know what size the little swine is and where I might source one.
Thanks
Del

It would have come with a spare when new.

I think it is a M1.7 or M1.6 x 5 mm thread forming screw for plastic.
DIgital caliper says root diameter is 1.42 mm, outer thread diameter is 1.65 mm.

Edit: further searching suggests M1.6 is the best match for diameter and pitch. I'm not finding a source for small quantities.
