Give me some time and I'll be able to get to it. The lights are in a box
(boo hoo) all still assembled. I haven't the foggiest idea where the old
red lenses and screws are though. Maybe I'll just take the light with to
the hardware store next time I go and find a new machine screw, what,
probably an 8-32. But, like I said, it was nice and smooth - with the
screws Rick gave out then. Don't know what else he might have given out
other times.

I had the same replacements that SS sells and did not attempt to
install them out of concern of destroying the threads in the chrome
housing. Though I didn't actually put them in, the sheet metal screws
looked too large to me to save the machine threads. I guess my
concerns were unfounded. Jay, can you confirm by reinstalling the
machine screws?
