Joebass Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi, Can anyone help me find a suitable replacement for these grub screws? One of the heads is completely rounded and I can't adjust it. They're from a Mayones Jabba bridge. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi do you mean it has no slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 You could file the mangled end clean and cut a new slot with a junior hacksaw and/or a sharp edged needle file. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebass Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 It's a hex head. I had been using a 1.5mm allen key to adjust but it's a little small. I tried a 1/16 inch key but that was too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebass Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Just now, KiOgon said: It could easily become be a slothead 😄 😁 True! I may have to do this but ideally, I'd like to get some new screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1967 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Almost certainly a metric thread, somewhere between M2 and M3, and 12mm in length by the look of it, but I'd contact Mayones to be sure. This might be your source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blablas Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Judging by the (imperial) ruler, M3x10. 1" = 25.4 millimeters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'm pretty sure I've got some of these in stainless steel. I could pop a couple in an envelope for you if you'd like. I think I've got 2 lengths, something like 10 and 6mm, very handy for non American Fender style guitar bridges where you don't want the screws tearing your hand up when palm muting. PM me and I'll check when I get home tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebass Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thanks, MoonBassAlpha. That's very generous! I've already ordered some so I should be good. Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
