Title: Ambassadeur Side Plate Screw Size
Post by: SteveL on January 04, 2021, 09:03:31 AM
I stumbled across this information, just passing it along:

Non-handle side plate screw size: M2-0.40x6mm

Apparently, these are sometimes being swapped with stainless steel socket head cap screws.

On the power handles, the handle nut lock screw size is M3-0.5x6mm.

On the handle nut and drive shaft:  M8 x .75

Thanks for this.  Would you happen to know the size of the handle side bridge screws by any chance?

Not offhand.  Sorry.  The good news is that they are likely metric as well so a caliper should help narrow it down.

Actually for the bridge screws, I would probably go with the original ones from Abu Garcia.

Thumb screws (nuts really) are M3

Little ones on handle side plate are M2.5

Little ones on tail plate are M2
