3/16" UNF. I know this because I cleaned all the threads out when refitting. Careful, they strip easy- they are a hollow alloy rivet. |

Mine appears to be plastic, threads too. Looks like it had hex socket once upon a time. Not easy to get hold of to turn with out one. Thought I might make one from a unbrako shoulder screw. Cut off thread, drill and tap. make a nice contour of the head and leave the hex socket to tighten it. Thanks |
