Looking for grub screw for old Wilkinson convertible trem. Anyone know size/best source?

Stratavarious

I have a ‘92 Eggle with the wonderful VS100C convertible trem.

I am after replacing a small grub screw that holds the angled arm locking sleeve/collar. Looks about 2-3mm.

The one visible on the right.  Should I just get a selection or does anyone know if it imperial / metric?

Yep.  Thanks.  It measures 3mm,  Might be able to swap something. 

Hopefully a harder metal.

@Strativarius ;I'm pretty sure that they're imperial and I had to buy a load when mine needed changing.  I'm not promising but they may be in the guitar case which is in the loft.  I'll have a look later this morning and let you know.  If I've still got them then happy to pop a couple in the post.

Thanks.  I was thinking it was original US made.  I may be able to swap a saddle screw. Looks similar.  Might explain the ill fit with my allen keys too.

@Strativarius ; Unfortunately the spare screws are no longer in the case.  I swapped my bridge to a non locking version a while back and, whilst I doubt that I would have thrown the old screws out, they're no longer in the case and not with the old bridge.

Definitely imperial and I got the spec, and I think details as to where to source them, from the Eggle forum https://patrickeggleguitars.org/smf/index.php   Unfortunately my login no longer works but it may be worth you registering and having a poke around.

Thanks all and I appreciate the looking. A 1/16” key was the trick.

Should be good for another 30 years… and what a great trem system!    I have the non locking VS100 version on my strat and seen you can get a locking conversion arm and backplate.. tempting.
