Screwdriver for rolleiflex 2.8d hood

[loman]

Hi Everyone
This might be a little far fetched but can anyone tell me, where I can get a screwdriver that's an exact fit for the four little screws that holds the hood on my 2.8d?
I want to install a new screen, but I don't have a screwdriver who fits, and is the right width at the same time.
I live in Denmark, so if anybody can point me toward a place where I can buy one within the EU, it would be more than appreciated.
Thanks

Hi

The normal thing to do is to buy a set of small screw drivers, and a fine file (or set). Then if the screws are really tight file the next largest driver end to fit exactly.
Any hardware shop should stock watchmakers screw driver sets, cheap.
Try not to mar the screw heads.
Good luck

P.S. If the screws seem really tight don't loosen one off and then try the others distortion may tighten the others, loosen and tighten the first then try the second, etc... A really gently tap on the end of the driver may loosen one that is too stiff, but dont use a 8lbs (4kilogramme) hammer...

Yes, precision screwdrivers are freely available (brands like CK and Draper). I like best the kind that come in a set with a large (10 or 15 cm) rubber-covered handle and interchangeable double-ended bits. They're easier to hold and to use without the blade skidding out of the screw.

I have two sets of fine-mechanical screwdrivers:

One is a set with plain, extreme small blades (even exchangeable) I once bought in local watchmakers supply shop (when such shops still existed). It is branded Agusta or Augusta.

The second set lacks the tiniest blades of the above set, but has crossed blades too. It comes out of the range of the German company Wiha, and you should have no problem to obtain them in a local hardware store.
