Rough Pickup Screws on my Rickenbacker pickups

I'm finding that the screws that adjust the bridge pickup up and down are really rough on the fingers when I brush over them.

I've had a look online but can't find a solution. I need to either change the screws once I find out the size or put something that is neat looking over them. Has anyone ever come across this and managed to find a solution or is it another Rickenbacker "quirk"?

Email John Hall, I’m sure he’d be accommodating and grown up about it ;)

How about a drip of clear nail varnish?

Now there's an idea (the varnish, not JH) My first thought was candle wax but that would rub off and destroy the strings.

I think I will try this tonight

Rickysounds have genuine replacements in stock...

at an eye-wateringly expensive £5.99 per screw!!

They'll be some imperial size an a few pence from  a fixing supplier... 

Part number is 05106, but no, I don't know the size and length

 

Pick-0-the-rics (USA) do them
