Ben:  The thread size is  4 / 40.  I lost mine as well =E2=80=93 made up =
a new one.  Went to a hobby shop that had model train stuff, bought a =
bag of 6  4 / 40 x 1/4=E2=80=9D =E2=80=93 the closest that I could find. =
 They happened to be allen heads, which was okay because the head faces =
downward when assembled and is hard to see.  I had to file the head down =
so that the screw head fit comfortably in the countersunk shaped seat in =
the lock barrel.  Also had to file the threaded part down so that it did =
not protrude enough to foul the lock cylinder.  I was a lot of f**ting =
around, and it cost a bit of fingertip skin, but in the end it worked =
very well.  In order not to ever have to do it again, I used a tiny =
touch of blue locktite when I assembled it.

If you can=E2=80=99t find anything, let me know =E2=80=93 I have the =
rest of the bag left and would be happy to mail you a couple.

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 Glove box lock: set-screw size

Finally, refinishing dash  & glove box on BJ8 that's been off the =
road...too long. The glove box lock should have a very very small =
machine screw that holds the inner pot-metal sleeve to the chrome outer =
casing. Mine have probably been gone since 1970s when it was hard to =
open the glove box.=20

So, does anyone on the list know the correct size for this item? The =
length is probably 1/8" +/-=20

Thanks.

The correct thread size is a 6BA. a 4-48 is very close and would probably
work (6BA is 47.9TPI and 4-48 is 48TPI, diameters are also close). A 4-40
will go in about 1 1/2 turns and then starts cutting new threads.
Countersink 6BAs are available from British Tool and fastener. Countersink
4-48s are available from MacMaster Carr but you have to buy 50.
