• Kay's Fasteners (kayfast1 on eBay) is my go-to supplier but they mostly deal with metric stuff.
    2BA would be my guess, but with Imperial thread sizing you're heading down a rabbit hole.
    If the problem holes are in the guards I'd be tempted to open them up with a tapered reamer when no-one is looking...

  • ugh, thanks, issue is the eyes on dropouts. it won't be elegant but I'm gonna try treating them as unthreaded & using M4 nuts & bolts... hope they don't rattle...!
