Mustang trem arm adjustment screw...

Post by berlinbetty » Tue Dec 11, 2007 7:39 am

  Anybody know how or where I can get one?  The one in my '71 is stripped and too far in to grind a "flathead" slot...

No idea where to find a replacement (other then looking for another vintage trem) but if your able to get the screw out to replace it, why can't you take it out and grind a slot?

I once bought a few from Home Depot. They are SAE threaded allen head set screws. I had a few lying around but I think they were lost when we moved. If Ic an find one I'l lsend it you. Don't get your hopes up, though  :)

  When I'm out tonight buying a reverse drill bit (hopefully it'll be able to get in that little hole) I'll look for some of those...
