Screw specs in Mini F BB Servo

Hi -

Does anybody have the specifications for the screws that are used to hold the servo horns on the servo that comes with the Toddler? They appear to be 1/4", but I'm not sure of the diameter of the threads, or if there is a standard number for the screw. These screws were in so tightly from the factory that I had to press extraordinarily hard to get them out without stripping them...in the end, they did end up getting stripped enough that I can't screw them back in tightly enough for the horns to stay perfectly in place.

If anybody could help me I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Shaun

    Thanks, Dave. I was able to match the screw at my local hardware store. I'm so excited, I got the robot walking yesterday - it's my first robot project. I'm hooked!

    Thanks again for your help.
