what size are Tach Bali pivots and screws?

hi i'm new in here and i know Knifekits.com sell pivots and screws assembly but i can't measure the pivot inside my tach bali because i can't unscrew it because the torx slot on the top of the screw just destroyed itself on first time i tried to screw it back ... i now for a fact that if i take it out it will be final and i won't be able to measure it since it will be destroyed ...

i really like the feel of this bali and the look... but those screws are so fuckin cheap... first try to tighten them a little and bam... round hole instead of a torx slot... i' still don't know how will i remove it ... with a drill? or just flip it till it fly open...

anyway here is my tach bali i bought a PVK ... if anyone know what size fits them please help me! or if any of you knows a suppliers for replacement pivots for these please help!
i have a kimura II on its way here but i don't want to put this one in the trash lol I really like it

Id get a dremel tool and cut a slot in the screws so you can take them out with a flathead. Then once they're out buy a cheap plastic caliper and take some measurements. Be sure to record them in a safe place because someone will ask the same question again!

On a side note a place of measurements wouldn't be a bad idea to have in the forum, or maybe the wiki?

yeah thanks! the use a of Dremel and a flat head seems like a good idea. do you guys think the screws are universal? or i'll need to buy pivots with the new screw?

Buy pivots. Chances are the pivots are as shitty as the screws and will strip as well sooner or later.
