Spitfire gunsight Question

Hi All, would anyone here know what size/length screws attach the Mk2* gunsight glass brackets to the main body?? I’m guessing 6BA by about 5mm long but I could be way off!!! Second Question is where are these available to buy from?

Cheers,
Chris

I have offered to remove them from mine to identify them…..simply countersunk, 4BA i’d reckon….but if you want more…I can find this out…as I have said I have some….but it may be better to source them locally…..brass screws

I’m starting to think no one knows the answer!! 😀 hahahaha

well maybe a different approach.. is there such thing as a parts manual for the sight where the screws might be listed? and If so where would one go about getting a copy?

I may have some suitable ones, to be specific, are you taking about the small screws that hold the completer combiner/reflector head to the lighting unit body?
