Mecaplex Rail Screws?

**Papa3[_2_]** · #1 October 2nd 20, 02:00 PM posted to rec.aviation.soaring

Have to put in a replacement rail in a club ship, and I'm fairly sure one or more screws were lost when the old one broke. Anyone know the specs on those screws. From memory I'm guessing about an M3 x 0.5x 1 but would be great to know for sure. I'm not near the glider to check the old ones.

I replaced mine with M3 8mm plastic ones available from Amazon

M3-0.50 by about 8mm is correct---just did the same job.
