Greetings all,

I was wanting some information on the tension screws on Slingerland Set O-Matic tom mounts.

I recently replaced the tom mounts with original Slingerland and they have tension screws that need to be tightened with a key.

I was wanting to replace these with a butterfly screw or wing screw but I didn't have any with the right thread.

They are a coarse threaded screw but I don't know the size and I for sure do not want to strip the threads!

I have one screw from a Slingerland snare stand of the same era with the same threads, but the wings of the screw are too long.

Do any Slingerland enthusiasts know what the thread size is for these tension screws?

I was hoping to maybe find some bolts at the hardware store with narrower butterfly wings.

I was also thinking about going to my local drum shop and take the tom with me. But I can't be sure they would have the screws I seek.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
