Hello Gerry,
The size of the screw is 2.6 x 8mm. We do offer these screws in a package that you should be able to get at any hobby shop. The part number is 55802.

DO NOT let some talk you into using 2.5mm screws.
While they will fit, it will be loose.
Had a guy at our field lost his because of the wrong screw size.
Also use loctite or some type of thread locker.

Please read what I said.
I SAID NOT TO USE 2.5 mm.
Please read closely.
Someone else specified the proper pitch at 2.6mm

They are NOT 2.5 mm. They are 2.6 mm, and I have used them for 3 years without any problems.

I did read what you wrote.
You replied to my post after I suggested to use a part from Microfasteners. And to my understanding, you clearly told the OP that my suggestion was incorrect.
As to your last post, I really don't understand what you are trying to say...? Pitch at 2.6 mm? The screw is 2.6 mm in diameter. The length is 8 mm.
I think we are misunderstanding each other... [
