Why do you want the outside screw? The inside screw one will work too.
 I
bought the amber turnsignals which come in inside screw only. I found
that
the screws that Rick sells with the amber turnsignals were just slightly
smaller than the threaded holes in the base so that I could screw them
in
from behind. And the threads seemed to slide through suggesting that
the
pitch was about the same. I probably did nick up the threads a little
so
that if I ever go back to outside screws they may not hold as good as
they
had. But, I certainly did not destroy the threads. And, since no one
is
making new outside threads, I'm not sure that I will ever go back.

I guess I'm a stickler for originality. My car has a late VIN so that
means it had outside screw lenses. Additionally, I want original Lucas
lenses, not repros.
