So go my cases together. Must of counted wrong and was missing a J screw. Already have it sealed up. Want to run to the hardware store. Anyone now the size pitch of this screw?

The center case screws are 6mm by either 40mm or 45mm lenth. Standard thread pitch is 1.0.

NOTE: To gain the full utility of the screw, you need to be sure to get one with the head having a conical underside with the same angle as the original screw (and I can't come up with that angle off the top of my head, sorry about that).

Thanks Ed,
Local store didn't have one. Ended up cutting an old outer case screw down...thanks!
