Thanks Darren, but there is no going back now. Blush

Original slotted screws on top, the right one missing half of the 'head'.
I picked up a couple of 0.7 pitch screws this morning and tried running one through my 0.75 die. (Bottom center.) Major fail. All it did was roll over the crests of the original threads and then began to tear them out.

So I went to plan "B" and drilled & tapped the housing to M5-0.8 instead. The hex drive screws work sooooo much better since the heads don't spread apart when you twist on them.
