Pick Up unit screw - Spec ?

Hi Guys,
I'm using a standard Indian Stator with an upgraded BGM pick up... and it's all good.
BUT
I've had a problem with the pick up screw coming loose and letting the pick up move, upsetting the timing.

I've sorted it in the meantime with thread lock and nipping it up as tight as I can, but the screw head slot is quite shallow - does anyone know the spec of the screw so I can order a stainless, low profile allen headed bolt to allow me to get an better purchase on the screw and make sure it's held firmly in place.
If I can get one ordered before I strip the flywheel side down it'll save me loads of time and make the job a bit easier.

Thanks in advance
Justin

Just checked one and it is M5 x 10mm (Believe pitch was 0.8). When fitted I put a dab of araldite over it to stop it vibrating loose.

Cool - I've always used Stigs fasteners - stainless of all shapes and sizes
Worth a look if you need a kit of parts or just a couple of bolts.

I use kayfast1 about 2/3 the price above and usually next day delivery. Works out cheaper if you buy in quantities of 50 and above.
