Need goblin fill screw. Willing to pay for one

[Miguel21]

Hi all. I'm another guy who fell victim to buying a goblin mini. Don't get me wrong it's an amazing tank! I love that little monster! Unfortunately since its festive thing got a bit out of hand while drinking so I lost both fill screws within a week lol. I'm in need on a new fill screw as well as the rubber gromit. I'm willing to pay for one lol!
Thanx Miguel

@Silver Lol you won't understand how sad I was when they fell out of my hand. I literally wanted to cry

So sorry to hear that @Miguel21 - i can just imagine how terrible that must be
Hope you guys can find loads of Goblin Mini screws somehow

I still say go to spectacle warehouse and ask them - I have a feeling one of the specs screws will work

 

[Miguel21]

Thanx @Wyvern Ill give spec savers a visit tomorrow. I tried some screws that fit but they still tend to lead. That small ass rubber gromit plays a huge role in sealing the tank lol

Someone mentioned before you can use a toothpick - not sure if that will work

The rubber grommit = try hardware shops? Midas even?

Visit Nesco in Bellville, they have a very big array of almost any screw you can think of! Corner of Voortrekker and Bill Bezuidenhout

@Chris du Toit Thanx a mill! I'll give them a visit asap

Please let us know what you find, using the spare screw at the moment

Yup! I've lost my spare again. Twice in one week... somehow, amazingly, I always manage to find it (lost + found it in a pile of bricks on New Year's Eve - that's the type of Karma I'm hoping for when I give money to car guards! ). I luckily know there is one in my car somewhere, if I lose the spare... but if anyone finds a solution that will be great.

(And no... a solution isn't a Reo, before that gets dropped... )

Well....a Reo is bottom fill, but without the screw

Does anyone know the actual dimensions?

Okay so I found a screw that works. Perfect diameter but it's just a tad longer than the original and the face is a bit huge so it scratches my evic vtc a bit. I'm not to fussed about the small scratches though. I found the screw in one of those light fitments. I'm not to sure what it's actually called lol

Hope it works well for you

May we now please be graced by a cool avatar pic for you!!

Hey well done! I guess you can file it a bit? Think Ill head to a screw-shop (and no, not a brothel or porn-shop) and see if I can get something.

Do you maybe have the dimensions?

You are taking all our fun away

My Goblin fill screw(slotted head) is 3.88mm long total length and 2.45mm in dia on the threaded portion.
The thread pitch is neither 0.5 or 0.6 on my metric pitch gauge.
My educated guess is that it is a M2.5 x 0.45 metric thread.
