Hello,

Does anyone know a source for or the sizes (eg M3x5mm) of the screws used to fix the dash pod electrics together? The screen dash for example.

Took mine apart to fit a PG screen and half the screws were missing. Found some countersunk ones as a temp fix but they need replacing with flat head ones.

Annoyingly, I threw out a box of old PC screws which no doubt would have had suitable ones within. Went to my local PC repair 'shops' and they said the screws were 'massive' laugh

Great, where does it say what size is required?

I ended up buying a pack of mixed PC mother board screws.

So for the sake of future searches.

The dash has a mixture of M3x8mm (overall length, 6mm thread) screws. Some pan head and some countersunk.

When buying screws countersunk are sold by complete length whereas raised head you only measure the thread wink
