I decided that it was time to strip and clean my Ishapore 2A1. Fairly grimy but no apparent rust issues. When I tried to put in the horizontal (longest) Nose Cap screw back in it just keeps turning. It appears to thread OK from the opposite side, but left to right it has no take up. The total length is 31.2 mm, the head is 9.5 mm in diameter, the shaft is 29.2 mm long the un-threaded shaft is 4.7 mm in diameter and the threaded portion is ~8 mm long. There is a small hole in the threaded section like you could upset the threaded portion to enlarge it. Does the SMLE 1/III screws (non counter sunk) work with the 2A1?

Thanks,

Dave
