I have lost one of the allen head set screws on one of my motors (the motor package is labeled: "KA20-20L Kv:1050") @#%#! Does anyone know where I might find a replacement?

Thanks for any help!

    My guess is MicroFasteners.com or Amazon.com.

    Can you measure the set screw from one of the other motors to determine its size?

    It has been a long while since I've had to go looking for a set screw, but Ace Hardware used to be very good about selling these and O-rings. It is the kind of thing that they keep a tiny box somewhere and you have to ask for, but it keeps customers coming back.

    Try calling your local store and asking.

    McMaster Carr is also a great source. They have fast shipping and a vast selection. Usually can't order in single / low quantities for small fasteners.

    Would that be the blue motors or the orange motors or?
