Hello all.

I'm really bad at identification of screw size and nomenclature. I have three different size screws for Kadee couplers and the one in the middle screws in perfectly, but I need a longer length. I did not save the packaging and cannot remember what I purchased.

Does anyone know the size screw used to mount Kadees to MTH shells? Could it be 1:72?

Thanks
Ron

I'd rather be lucky than good.

I tap the hole, avoids splitting the plastic. I buy the screws from Micro Fasteners.
