Hi All,
I have ordered new faces, jewels and repainted speedo and tach covers along with a ew rubbers and bits from cbfaces.
The screws on my instruments are awful and I would like to replace.
What size are the screws that hold the clock faces on, there are two on each clock and they are tiny.
What size are the srews that hold the chrome backs onto the clocks, again there are two on each clock, and tiny.

Just building up courage to remove the needles, two spoons?

Thanks

I think M3 on the back holding the chrome cover on
 
One on my 3c had 2 different length screws, from memory one was tiny maybe 4mm long and bearly held on and the other was 12mm long. who knows how that happened in the 14 years before I got it. They're now both 12mm or so long in Stainless but that was done 20 years ago so no idea what the thread size is.
 
From memory the two different lengths are either for securing the chrome cover or for securing the base to the gear drive mechanism. Can't remember which.
