LTD EC-50 neck screws ...

as you may already know, the LTD EC-50 that i have needs a couple of new neck screws. however, the front screws are shorter than the back screws, because of the way the neck plate sits at an angle on the body of about 5 degrees. the front (non-standard) are 40mm long. the back (standard) are 45mm long. and it's the front (non-standard) ones that need replacing. so, my question is: what precisely are these screws?

Suggest you find out here.

This is a Westone forum....

the standard screws are used by most manufacturers, including, i imagine, westone. i'd have thought this was a really simple question.

feel free to move this to NON-WESTONE DISCUSSION, if you prefer.

so, from my digging on eBay, it seems that no.8 and M4 are roughly equivalent. i'll guess that these are M4, as whilst the 45mm ones could be 1 3/4", i can't find an imperial equivalent for the 40mm ones.

i'm probably going to go with bolts. as they're shorter anyway, this difference in size between front and back won't matter.
