Clutch I lost my lock screw.

For those who may need to make a replacement flower nut indexing screw. A common PC screw with a little metal filing fits perfect. This type of screw has the anti back-out inner ring on the underside of head and is the proper thread count and about 5mm thread length when in original condition. Will add a pic if any are interested.

it's worth noting that there are at least 3 different screw types in any given computer on account of the fact that a modern pc is an amalgamation of about a dozen different styles. I believe the screw you're referring to is the same one that holds the main board in place.
 
Indeed Sir. You called it, so I had a pic at the ready. incoming Pic:

Well, this is a rather simple question. Do you guys know where I can get a new lock screw for the flower nut in the clutch? I seemed to have misplaced mine during a disassembly. I lost it last year before the winter and it started slipping after a mile or so. I have looked on many of the online vendors and I cannot find any replacements. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction for finding a replacement online or the thread count/size.

Thanks.
Yes, go to Home Depot use the screw board you will probably half to run in and out of the store a dozen times to get the right pitch so forth I bought arond $20 worth of nuts bolts washers so forth last week they have an excellent selection almost anything you need until you get into metric long scres for motor mounts they don't have any that one can cut to length some one answer your question on the size try that one.

Now when I see a common nut on the street I stop and look think that piece of trash is probably worth $3.00 at least.

And then the most disgusting part of the equation reveals it only cost 2 cents to manufacture and cost home Depot 5 cents to buy, leaving you with the 3 dollar price tag since retail is practically a scam...

Can't wait for the robots to take over 90% of the retail jobs so I can get reasonable prices on goods..
