    Best bet is an auto parts store. They refer to them as "set screws". NAPA probably has a tray of set screws in various sizes. You can order them on McMaster-Carr if you know what the size and length is:

    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    Thanks for the tip, I will bring the antenna in so they can see what I need.

    If easier, just remove remaining screw and take just that with you. Be sure to grab a couple extras, just in case.

    Like that post was...
