SME V - VTA screw replacement

Does anybody know where I can buy a replacement vta screw other than going thru some Sumiko dealer? I bought a V but it didn't come with set up tools. I've been told a hex screw would work but I don't think that is the case, it seems like I would strip the threads.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks a ton for the offer but another member just happened to have an extra one and sent it to me. Sorry I didn't update.

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the thread? I think 2,5mm?

It is not 2.5MM nor 3MM so must be more exotic.


Best of Luck

It is a weird "Witworth" size you can't get just anywhere.
There you go.

Thank you for that info, never have heard of the BSW thread pattern.  Seems like the SME VTA Screw is 1/8" BSW, looked for Screws which seem very hard to find especially in the length required, However a Die can be bought for GBP 5 http://www.tapdie.com/html/bsw-_dies.html
so one could easily make one from a piece of Stainless Rod or similar.
