Billow V2 Screw Size?

[D-Man]

I would like to replace the standard screws on the Billow V2 with equivalent allen (grub) screws. Does anyone know what the size these allen screws should be?
Thanks

I'm also curious, sounds like a great little fix.

Nope but you can measure them if you have a metric ruler

They're very tiny, little RTA screws.

I DO have a micro caliper, can measure them that way, but don't think that's going to give us the numbers we need to replace.

I'll try to remember to do this tonight for the heck of it.

I got these, as recommended on another forum. They're so tiny, I actually don't care for them, but they work:

Don't they have to be that tiny? You mean missing the heads, they're easy to fall out and lose?

They're the right size, but tricky to work with!

I'm guessing... Make absolutely SURE you never fully unscrew them, and a PITA to get in, but other than that they're ok?

Yup!

Thanks for the info. I ordered some M2x3 & M2x4. I'll see which ones fit, but from what you're saying looks like 4mm will be better. I'll post back with the results.

OK, so after getting the grub screws delivered I found that the M2 x .4 x 4mm (and 3mm) do fit the devise but WOW are they small. Once you have them in place it's not a big deal. Good idea to order a few extra because if you drop one you'll probably never find it. But anyway, I do like it better than dealing with that Tinkerbell sized screw driver.
