I just converted my 70's Hardy Silex to LH retrieve. Long story short, need a screw. Any ideas?

Is the screw to focus your camera? ;D
If its a speciality type of screw (which I'm guessing it is) you might start with Fastenal. If its a brass screw, you may be able to get the size and threads per inch correct, but if the length is the issue simply cut it to length and use a fine file to smooth it up.
Good luck!

Thx guys. I didn't realize my camera focus was so bad... I bought it f/ a guy on this site, actually, good guy, & when converting it realized one screw was not original. Once converted, the screw was not long enough & seemingly wrong threads anyway. I'll try those suggestions...
