Yep thay raises the next issue. Quick measure and some googlefoo says the threads are 1/4 UNEF (32 TPI).

Will have a dig around and see if I can find something to work. Trade tools have a die nut if all else fails.

I used metric fine into UNF holes and to be honest the slight 'play' is probably an advantage as the action is lowered down, in that the screws have a little wiggle going into the plastic drinking straws. The screws are wrapped with masking tape right up to the action so they dont need to be a correct thread.
