Lock-down Screw for Dive Rite Classic Reel

[Andre171]

Hi, as rebuilding an old lantern style reel from Dive Rite, I want to replace the original nylon lock-down screw with the newer version, that can't be get lost (with counter screw).

Since the original replacement part are no longer available in Europe, I just want to built my own lock-down screw. Apperently a ultra simple thing - but I am unfamilliar with imperial screw sizes.

So: What screw/tread size is the lock-down screw of the old lantern-style Dive Rite reels?

I allready relaced the broken spool with a delrin spool and with a cold water sized winder.

Thanks for any help!

This may not help you due to shipping, but there's a source for parts. I used their parts to rebuild my old style reel, which is probably from 1994 or 95. The old style and the 'classic' reel are the same parts, even though DR told me they weren't compatible.

IIRC the thread of the lock down screws are 1/4x20 threads
