  In Saskatoon I'd go to House of Tools for
the tap and Bolt Supply for the screws (they'd
have to order them in for sure). And I might
have to buy 100 pieces or whatever size box
they come in.

  If you have a camera repair shop in your
town/city you could go there and ask if they
have any screw that would fit.

  I don't recall mine being that
way. It was a long time ago.
But if your infinity image on
the GG is sharp then that's what
counts (plus getting your finder
image in focus at the same time).
