I'll see what I can do.   At the least I'll refund your excess Paypal.

Don't bother, it's alright. I'm happy to have those screws.

I didn't realize the OP was looking for saddle height screws.  In that case, these may work out a little better, even if they're a little shorter:

Those are perfect with the hex socket and all!

But 25 of them for only 10 dollars? My paper pushing self is repelled in tech ignorance!!!!

I'm looking for all the bridge screws actually  :)

@Uwe: maybe we can split one order of saddle height screws if you need them?

By 'all' do you mean the saddle length adjusters or the plate mounting screws?

Length adjusters are 4-48 x 1.25 inch slotted pan heads on my '75.  Mounting screws are #6 x .75 inch oval head phillips nickel plated.

edited for screw length

Pack of 50 Stainless steel 1" fillister heads, $12.46.  UPS shipping 350 miles, $6.50.  Would have cost close to $10 to ship to the west coast from McMaster.



Installed, same 3/4" thread length as originals.  Less likely to tear up a muting hand or rust compared to headless steel.  Fit under stock bridge cover.

Sure, I'll probably order two packs in any case. Will do after Easter.
