    Default Bosch GSS280A Orbital Sander

    I bought this sander ages ago for a cheap price as the foam had deteriorated. I have finally got around to fixing it up using a yoga matt foam. I have however lost one screw which helps hold on that metal plat you see in the picture. Where would I get something like this? It doesn't need to have a star head on it.

    If you take it to a decent nuts & bolts place (not Bunnings) they will be able to find something for you. All you need is something with the shallow head and the thread size will be a standard one. Low head capscrews are one option.

    Thanks Treecycle, I did a quick Google, this is a 4mm (M4) bolt with a fine thread. I seem to only be able to find something with a courser thread (pitch = .7mm). Will see what I can find at the Nut & Bolt Factory up the road.
