    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Misplaced Pilot Screw Washer

Do I have to buy a whole new pilot screw to get one of these washers or is there an easier solution? I searched for one at a few hardware stores, but no dice.

The bugger was just so tiny..

This is for a set of BS32MM's.
 
Any time....

wish I had an alternative source or what else to use, you could try a hobby store, or a electronics store, they might carry something that small, something like an RC Hobby store, or Radio Shack....if you need them quick...just grab one of your other ones to match up...

It's a good thing you good people came up with the best answers, because I was tempted to say, "drill a tiny clean hole first in some aluminum flashing and next, use leather-workers' hole-puncher around that hole to make a washer"....just don't screw it in hard.
Or, as Gatekeeper suggested- electronics often have tiny washers on tiny bolts...heat sinks are one place that comes to mind but there are more. Have a look inside that nasty old stereo amp stored on the top shelf....?
 
Okay, here's another one: VM26ss gasket washer for under the float needle valve (Christ, I hope I described that, right). Any idea where I can get one? Haven't had much luck in tracking them down, anywhere.
