Seeking eyepiece lockdown thumbscrews and a rear (camera) port dust cap for a Celestron 4SE.
I'm presuming the thumbscrews are standard celestron fare found on diagonals, visual backs etc. The dust cap is a bit more specialised, the port is approximately 36mm wide. Screw-on or push fit will suffice.

Reason: No longer required
Temporary thumbscrews found and I can confirm they fit ok, though probably a bit too long. Still looking for some originals thumbscews (or close to original spec).
Amazing! Yours are the size currently recommended by Celestron as a replacement.
I was in a similar situation a few months ago, and got replacements through our local telescope shop. I presume they came from Celestron. But they didn't fit. Mine is an older Evolution 6, and clearly the specification was different back then.
After some runaround, I eventually found (with help from Bintel) a couple of the correct size. But it took some digging.
If you contact Celestron Australia, they should be able to advise you on how to find them. The ones I got were black plastic with a nice sized head, which would make them quite easy to adjust. But I returned mine because I couldn't use them.
