MGB MGB 18V Distributor base plate screw

[burgundyben]

Can anyone tell me what thread is the screw that holds the base plate into the distributor on a MGB 18V engine?

One was stuck solid and the PO mashed the slot, I got it out but I need a replacement.

Thanks

Ben

I use an allen head screw to avoid the screwdriver hassle. Others may disapprove or have their own preferences.

Use stainless allen-head cap screws, eliminate the electrolysis. Or a dab of anti-seize and lockwashers.

I have the original with some antiseize on it.
