[TR] Rocker feed screw.

I may well be metric but there are a variety of thread pitches in metric fasteners and your local hardware store will only carry the most common size.  This may be why you can't find the right one.

 Thanks John.
I am trying to look at metric.  It doesn't seem to be a size that is 
commonly stocked at hardware stores around here.

While I’ve long been a Whitworth advocate and enthusiast (for purely patriotic reasons) I think it might be worth going down a metric route. There was a time when the factory briefly reverted to metric hardware that was market specific for European build. Needless to say, certain bits of hardware went where they shouldn’t (or inadvertently wound up there). Might this be a possible avenue to explore? Evaluate metric fine and coarse pitch threads.
