    Hey peeps...

    Looking to replace the security screws In my megadrive carts but not sure of the size I need...

    I tried to compare them myself but I wasn't sure...

    Anyone know what th size is so I can either get them online or locally?

    Thanks in advance!

    If you haven't opened them with the correct screwdriver, you'll just damage the replacements. Besides, they're very expensive when you can get them.

    Best bet would be to replace with standard screws of the same thread type.

    Oops... I need to post properly on here!!

    I was looking to replace the security screws with standard screws... especially the tri wing ea ones!!

    I went to b&q and couldn't match them... but I might have tried to be too specific...

    Any suggestions what sizes will fiti without damaging the carts?

    Go to a proper hardware store, not a chain store with a bunch of spotty teenagers who know jack shit.
