I've got a screw loose

A tiny black screw has fallen out of the WLF on my Mamiya RB67. There are also a few missing screws to both my pro SD 120 backs, which look like they are the same size. The WLF still works with some tape but obviously this isn't ideal. The missing screws from the backs don't seem to effect performance or light-tightness but all the same I'd like to replace them. Anyone got any ideas where I might be able to get replacement screws?
 
Hmmm, that's a toughie mate. Only thing I can suggest is removing another screw from the WLF and, if possible, acquiring some buggered compact cameras to take apart so as to match the screws. Chances are small, but it's an idea. Failing that, contact mamiya and see if they can provide spares?

Hmm I've got a couple of non working spare camera I could check, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion Woodsy :)
 
anywhere close to you that fix clocks ? they would have the correct sizes no doubt.
 
I've got the same problem with the speed grip on my ETRS and the only solution I've found so far is driving an hour away (or posting the entire grip) to someone that fixes Bronicas, or buying a bargain spare off Keh and paying £30 on top for shipping!!!

Another suggestion given was to try visiting a specialist engineering shop that has one of those tools to measure screws.
