Spectre Covertec Wheel screw too short

[dalxien]

Hey everyone, first post here. I just got my Spectre custom saber and love it! First saber with the sound board, and am looking forward to digging into the fonts and seeing what the options are. Very impressed with it so far.

I did run into an issue with the bottom covertec wheel, where it looks like the 1/4 inch screw is too short and won't screw back in with the covertec wheel put back on it. Has anyone else run into this? I emailed about it, but I figured I could just find a replacement screw that's 3/8 or 1/2 or something, as the 1/4 inch screw screws in just fine without the wheel.

Does anyone know the thread count and other dimensions on the standard screws? I've searched around and found conflicting info, and am not very good with this stuff.

Its an 8-32 cap head screw. Remember that using too long may cause it to hit your batteries or electronics.

Thanks very much! I found a 1/2 inch screw with a flat top, so it goes in just a little bit more than the one that came with it and secures it. Philips' head so it's slightly ugly, but it at least works for now. Appreciate the help.
