So I did the ever popular bearing replacement on one of my four MP10's.

I did run into a major problem. I stripped two of the three screws that hold the motor housing together. I did manage to get them out and replace the bearings. I need 2 more of these screws to put it back together.

M2.5 x 40mm machine screw. Flat head Phillips.

I've been to all the specialty screw shops around. Also the hobby shops. Spent a day on Google and only found 1 place that had it. It was in the UK.

I hate to have to buy a new dryside or send this in repair because I cant purchase 2 screws.

Can someone here point me in the right direction?

I contacted ecotech and they said they don't have any or no where to get any.

Did you strip the screws or the motor endcaps?

We really don't recommend people ever replace the bearings, especially on MP10's. They are so small and tightly packed as an assembly that it's nearly impossible to perform this task without breaking something.

That being said I could probably find you some screws but I'd need to know exactly what part you're looking for. Typically the motor endcaps would strip, not the screws, since the endcaps are made from aluminum.

I only need the screws. I tried to give a pic but tapatalk is not having it. I need 2 of the three that hold the housing. M2.5 x 40 long. If you could get them it would be awesome. Need to get this back in operation.

You can see the two areas that are bad.

Thank you for helping me out. Not the greatest time of year to be replacing things.
