Tiny screw holding knuckle to coupler shaft is too short to engage its threaded hole in the shaft when the replacement hook and loop and plastic spring are in place. Anyone have experience, or knowledge of the caliber and thread count of that tiny screw or possible source for a longer screw? Bachmann part # for the screw in question is #10297; it's 5mm long and needs another mm to engage when the thickness of the hook's plastic spring is in place. Thanks

An M2 x 8mm, or 2-56 x 5/16in, machine screw should work.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
