JA Michell TecnoDec armboard question

The TecnoDec armboard is pre-drilled for the newer 3 point mount Rega arms. However, I cannot seem to find the right sized bolts/screws to fit the holes. Does anyone know the size or dimensions for the correct screws or a source for them? I've tried my dealer, the US distributor and have an e-mail to JA Michell in the UK but so far no answers. Thanks if you can help!

I don't know the size, but these guys will have the hardware once you find the size:

Do what I did and save money.

Take your TechnoDec armboard to Home Depot or Lowes.
Go to Specialty Metric Bolt aisle (Nuts and Bolts)
Try different screws until it fits the hole.

Try Artech, the Canadian distributor.

What Audiomax said. When you need help with hardware, visit a hardware store: Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, True Value, etc.

Once you've identified the thread pitch X length they'll probably have a choice of materials. You can feed your audiophilia nervosa for about $3. ;-)

P.S. to avoid scratching your tonearm mounting plate, pick up some washers too.
