I need a small brass screw to repair an old lighter. I'm sorta "trolling" to find a source for one. it's 0.360" long with a shaft is about 0.050" in diameter. Can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks in advance!

It would be useful if you mentioned the thread pitch, head shape, and drive type. A #0-80 thread is .060 od and a common American/english size. In metric 1.2x.25 (.0472"od) and 1.4x.3 (.0551"od) are common sizes.There are other possibilities.--Lou Boyd

Thanks! Been there tho.

Decided to make the stud instead of buying a mini-tap & die. Silver solder.

Thanks for your trouble.

They have flat-head, round-head, fillister-head and hex-head screws in brass in lengths from 3/32" to 1/2" in sizes 00-90, 0-80, 1-72, and 2-56. Also threaded rod in 00-80 to 2-56. Also nuts and washers to match. Also, small self-tapping screws in 00-90 x 1/8, 3/16/ and 1/4. Prices, depending on size are from $2 to $3 per dozen. Nice folk to do business with.

Thanks Guys, but this was months ago. I have long since solved it. I ended up fabricating a new "screw" and soldered it on to the lighter.
