Was out bashing today, managed to lose one of the screws that holds the
endbell on the motor. Any ideas where I can get some more cheap? I'm in UK
BTW.

Thanks,
Matt

Yeah, sure .. from a motor endbell shop .. ;)

Seriously, any local model shop will have loads in, often in the back
room where they work on 'bits'. They will likely give you some for
free, if you know them well enough. Otherwise, take the other screw off
and go to a hardware store. Tell them to check the thread and have they
any more screws similar .. Don't be tempted to use a self-tapping screw,
you *will* screw up the endbell the next time you want to cut a brush or
comm .. ;)

if paul's idea doesn't work, go down to your local bearing supplier they
usually have one off screws everywhere.
