    Thread size / spec question: L250 midrange bolts

    Two of my L250 upper midrange (LE5-11) bolts (calling them bolts since they thread into t-nuts - maybe more conventional to call them screws?) have messed up threads, as I was surprised to discover when removing my upper midranges.

    Hoping I can chase them with a die to clean them up for re-installation. Forgive my laziness, I thought I would ask here first as to what the thread spec is. I'm assuming it's a standard size?

    Or, if replacements are readily available, I'd love to know.

    Thanks in advance,
    Ryan

    According to the L250 diagram, the original part number 21757 is superseded by part number 804-01110-20 which has this description: SCR,10-32 X 1 1/4,FIL,PH,BLK ZINC,LCS. Last price list I have shows them for $0.30 each from JBL/Crown.

    Yes they are standard machine screws, 32 thread. But I thought they were #8. Anyway, don't expect to get any cooperation from the t-nuts. If a t-nut comes loose you should replace it with a new one. Available at Lowe's.

    Maybe #6? I listed the wrong part. The 12704 is the original number now superseded to 802-11010-16 SCR,6-32 X 1,FLT,PH,BLK ZINC,LCS 78¢. I read right past that "upper" mid-range in the original post.

    Thanks very much. Ordered. JBL Pro Service rocks! The person I spoke with (Dave, I believe) mentioned he's into vintage JBL guitar stuff like the D and K. He loved that I was listening to L250s and gave me a heck of a deal on the bolts.
