Wonderful project Mark. Someone out there must have a new packaged shroud stashed away that they'd be willing to let you borrow for scanning. Much thanks to you from a fellow SLR owner.
Can't help at all, but would just like to say that I think this is a wonderful idea. We need people willing to do this kind of thing to help keep many Seikos alive. Well done :clap:
AgreedWhat he said :grin:
John, you are quite right, I was free-drafting that quickly to post it, my hand sketch was better as it shows the max 1.49mm thread diameter is less than the (2.37)* 2.30 mm shoulder diameter. You might be the right man to answer the next question: is that likely to be a standard thread? If you had to make a guess, what might it be?Is the shoulder between the thread and the head the same diameter ? I only ask because the screw you show in the picture looks to have a bigger shoulder than the 2.37mm (I assume the thread is M2.5 ?).
Mark, I should imagine the thread is M1.50 fine ?John, you are quite right, I was free-drafting that quickly to post it, my hand sketch was better as it shows the max 1.49mm thread diameter is less than the (2.37)* 2.30 mm shoulder diameter.

John, thanks - is that a UK 'fine' or a universal fine or...? If I had to describe it to a shop in the US or China, would they need more info?Mark, I should imagine the thread is M1.50 fine ?
To be honest Mark I have never dealt with that size thread but just doing a google and they don't have M1.5 fine.John, thanks - is that a UK 'fine' or a universal fine or...? If I had to describe it to a shop in the US or China, would they need more info?

I can call Smith and Smith if you want - I'm in Australia.7s I hate it when you do that! I checked the Oceania site for shrouds but obviously didnt think to look for screws... assuming that is they. I will go look at easier sources (Cousins Boley) first, but if not, do you have to go through Smiths for example in Australia to get them?
