Peavey T40 - pickup height adjustment screws

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone know where I can source these screws?

I've tried Peavey, Stewmac, and Allparts.com with no luck.

I was told to try a hardware store, but they won't be chromed to match original screws.

Anyone have other ideas? Or perhaps a handful of these lying around?

Thanks,
Tom

The screws are 4-40 X 1 1/8" pan head phillips. There is plenty of room for a 1 1/4" long screw. I have used common silver screws for this type application and polished the plating off the heads with a buffing wheel or Dremel. The steel shines up but needs some wax every now and then to keep them from rusting.

If you can find stainless steel screws, they polish up pretty good and won't rust.

Stewie, you're judgmentally quoting bible verses and you don't even know how to read!
