My OS 32 uses 2.5 mm screws.
Made on unobtanium
3mm screws I can find around the corner.
What if I enlarged the thread to 3mm?

Ion, are you looking at hobby shop, hardware store, or industrial fastener store? My chart shows a 2.5mm x .45mm being standard, and if you go to a real fastener store, I'd bet they'll have them or will get them. Alternately, maybe they would be used on a Magnum XL .15 or TT .15gp, but I don't have either, to check for you. I do know that Magnum XL .25 > .36 screw kits work perfectly in OS .46LA and Double Star .60bb, and they are socket heads. I would not enlarge the threads until there was a problem with the holes, then I would change them all, but that's just my opinion. The info Keith gave you should work, if you can online order with a charge card. If none of the above helps, email me. Steve

You will have problems with head diameter between cooling fins.
Do not ask how I know 
Needing a couple back door screws for an O.S. 20FP--that ingrate Mike Conner lost one for me--I remembered this thread as I reached for the Du-Bro rack.
Thanks to a great many RC cars being imported from limp-wrister places in the world that only know about metric fasteners has resulted in several companies, Du-Bro being the most well known, offering all kinds of machine screws that just a year or so ago were quite difficult to locate.
No longer! Your local hobby shop probably has a selection which will stun you. And please don't whine about the pricing. Especially compared to ordering from a remote site, waiting for the stuff and then paying shipping costs. Those four 2.5 x 6 screws I got were worth a lot more than I paid for them; just don't tell Mr. Broberg I said so.
