“Never seen those before” hogwash!...I'm quite sure they didn't come up with a new screw thread for just this component, but used an absolutely standard one [and if for instance this happens to work out to be SAE 6-32 (as in size 6 by 32 threads per inch), contact me through SW-EM, and I'll be happy to send you a couple of brass screws as I stock these and use them in the restoration of Fuseblocks!]
Further...Amazons are indeed mostly imperial sized hardware... except for Bosch (or second source German supplier like SWF) supplied electrical or ignition components...so this could go either way, but I'm betting it's a dirt simple 6-32 (SAE) screw...install with ACZP on threads and wire!

Hi Ron,
Thanks for this - I agree it’s iver complicated : just need a supplier of correct size screws and I’m set.
Was only sharing the update / hassle of acquiring these three grub screws seems to be through usual avenues. Maddening that hardware stores & “specialist” hardware providers go blank when presented with the physical component.
Found a guy who machines his own brass screws and has a wide range of grub screws :

Spoke with today - and going to try the M6 x 6mm
That said - Ron - Thank you I’ll contact you through SW-EM too.
Cheers!
