Hello,
I seemed to have stripped a screw on the clutch side switch housing. i see that mike's has replacements, but i don't want to wait several days for a replacement. anybody have an idea what the screw is so i can go down to the home depot and pick one up?

If you can get it out - or the other one, take to home depot with you.. they have sizing gauges there and will size it for you if you ask (or just use it yourself, it's sitting right off the shelf in the fasteners section.

stripped screw or stripped housing? if housing you'll need a heli-coil (thread insert)
