I've lost a screw that holds the grille to the body.
Does anyone sell these UK side?
Thanks in advance.

They'll be standard machine screws. Somewhere like allthreads or screwfix will have them if you can find out the size. You'll also find them on ebay

I've ordered some, but I think I've made a mistake and ordered them in UNC thread. I think SAE actually corresponds as UNF thread.
@Shakeylee: I'm in Portsmouth in the south of England. If we could hook something up, I'm quite happpy to recompense.
Regards
Steve

Thank you so much for help and advice guys. The UNC screws went in fine, although the thread doesn't look at all coarse.
@Shakeylee. I am about 15 miles from Southampton. Is Miff Smith's first name Chas or Charles? If you let me know what I owe you, I'll get a payment over to you.
Thanks again.
Steve

Hi Shakeylee,
I've checked out Miff and Backwater Roll. I'll drop Miff a line on Facebook. I've got a great excuse to get out and see a band now.
Many thanks for your kindness sir.
Regards
Steve
