Oops! Lost a screw!

[Guest]

So my front brake light switch was not working unless at the extreme end of braking, so I took the switch apart. It now works, but I managed to lose one of the two screws that holds the unit together.

Now I can take the bike to the hardware store and do trial and error with one of the employees until we can find the correct one, but I was hoping one of y'all had or could find the measurements to it. I tried finding it by part number, but it doesn't have any of the specifics so that I could buy the part locally instead of online.

Take the existing screw and just try on nuts till one fits..then get that same thread screw. If the hardware is a bust go to Fastenal.

The issues is I don't think I have hardware that small to fit, and if I take it out to check the hardware on it, we'd have to fight to get the switch working again. That is my last resort, I didn't want to tear it apart again.

tape a strong magnet to a broom handle and sweep the garage floor..if its there it will get sucked up. Couldnt have gone all that far..and take a light and look down into the fins on the head. had a few drop in there myself.
