Got a '93 defender and the fuse box cover is sans thumb screws. OEM style are horrendously expensive. I reckon I can buy some generic ones and make them work with some simple mods.
With this in mind, can anyone tell me the thread spec and total length of the screw?
Cheers.

Thread is 5mm dia - not sure of other thread details but I'm pretty sure it's metric.
Going from the left hand side, the knob is 12 long x 30 dia. The black shoulder section is 15 long and 10 dia. then you have 15 x 5 unthreaded, then 15x5 threaded and finally 5 x 3.5 dia unthreaded (lead-in to locate the screw hole).
All measurements in mm. Total length 62.

Thanks for the dimensions. Just what was needed. I'll see if some bog standard thumb screws can be adapted and report back.

It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

Just to follow up, here's my DIY solution from Ebay sourced bits...

The knobs are 5mm blind hole aluminium knurled thumb nuts 16mm diameter * 20mm high (got red because they're faster) and matched with M5 60mm stainless steel exhaust studs.
Stuck the studs in a drill press to file a point on them to allow them to find the hole better and then loctite'd them to the knobs.

Interesting question - are the threads actually ISO metric or BA? (BA is metric, and in this size the pitch is the same, but the thread profile is different - 47.5° instead of 60°. For this sort of application, 2BA and 5mm will work)
