PLEASE can anyone tell me what thread the standard screws on diagonals and the standard interface (for not knowing the right word) are
Thanks
I want to replace them with something longer with a larger head, I don't want to over tighten but they are never tight enough to hold a Quark

The Skywatcher focusers and diagonals that I have, the retaining screws are M4 X 0.7mm pitch. Have purchased replacement thumb screws for some, not necessarily from the sellers linked here. Just some examples.
