Does anyone know the size of the set screws on a Graupner Flex coupler?

I have two of the couplers, neither of them have any set screws and I'm not sure who I purchased them from.

Hobby Lobby couldn't (wouldn't?) help. They told me to try my local hardware store. Given that they're probably metric, I have my doubts about being able to find them in my area.

Hi Doug,
The size of the setscrews is indeed metric as you suspected. It's size is M4 ( 4mm threads). In the solid couplers Graupner uses M3 Allan screws.
Hope this helps,
Ciao Walter

Thanks, Walter. You wouldn't happen to know the length as well would you? (I probably should have included that request in my original question.)

Bring the coupler to the LHS and give it a try. Most of the hardware stores in the Local Boston area more carry Metric!

OK Doug,
i took out one of the screws and meassured it. It is also 4mm in length. I don't think it will be a big problem to find them.
Ciao Walter
