Hello,

I've bought a used CD-M 25 for my MPC 2500. Unfortunatelly the screw which is comming with the CD-M 25 is missing.
This screw I need to tigthen the installed CD-M 25 with the chassis of the MPC 2500.

It seems to be a half-round-screw with a Phillips recessed head.

Can anyone tell me something about the diameter and length of the thread of this screw ?

Thanks to all in advantage.

the screw should be included with your mpc not the drive, just about any screw that screws in the thread will do but it's gotta be relatively short

On the "manual" of the CD-M 25 is written:

Content of this package:
CD-M 25 1x
Screw 1x
Manual 1x

Additionally the manual says explicit that you should have to be careful because if you are mounting the drive into the MPC there are 3 different types of screws.

It'll be very nice from you if you could take a picture!
Can you measure the lenght of the thread ?
Diameter seems to be 3mm.

I was afraid you would ask for the length because I only this

maye I can place a regular PC screw next to it for comparison purposes since I cant measure it ?
