Exterior awning grub screw

[straydingo]

When the awning is put down, we release the catch on the top horizontal arm and it slides down the 'leg' until it reaches a little grub screw in the channel, near the release handle thingie.

Mine have dissappeared. Can anyone tell me the size of them please to replace with another screw?

Thanks

I used a screw out of a power point on my 17ft'r, the screw that secures the cables into the power point itself.

seemed to fit ok.

NB: I wouldn't recommend taking one out of a power point in use...lol (had to be said)

My awning has the ones in the barrel coming out, the ones that are done up with a square bit.

because I have to long awning it has a rest in the middle for the awning to sit on. I have lost the bolt that holds that on, the whole bracket fell at my feet when I unrolled it, narrowly missing my noggin.

I loosened mine without removing them all the way and put a bit of sikaflex under the head, so far so good

I don't think so, and you know how I know?
Cos if I was wearing my lucky thongs (RIP) it would have landed on my toe for sure!!!
