Need a source for

[Gerry M]

I'm looking for a Canon P top plate machine screw. If anyone has an extra, or knows of a source, I would appreciate that. I have attached a pic of the top plate right end. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gerry

Go to a flea market or camera shop and look for cheap non working cameras that have similar screws or try clockmacker suppliers found this one on the net Dead Link Removed

Good luck

Can you measure the head diameter, thread diameter & length of another top cover screw?

John,
The dimensions are approx, but close. Body dia 2mm, head dia 3.5mm, length 4mm, shoulder dia 3mm, shoulder length 1mm. I have attached a photo of the existing screw. Click for enlargement.
I took a screw from the acc. shoe of the Canon meter. It is the proper dia & thread pitch, but it is too long, no shoulder and the head is too tall.

Thanks,

Gerry
