TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Kovea Supalight Titanium Screw

So, I have a Kovea Supalight Titanium, the 56g model. On a recent trip, the screw that holds the arms together came loose.

I screwed it back up, but obviously didn't do it up tightly enough, because when I next came to use it the arms were loose and the screw was missing. Can't find the blasted thing anywhere :(

Anyway, I've been looking for replacement screws, and haven't been able to find anything that is the right size. Has anyone else had the same problem and been able to find appropriate size and length replacement screws?

It is possible that all stove makers use a standard screw. Take you stove into a specialist bolt and fastener supplier retailer and see if they can find a suitable screw for you. I needed something similar on an old carburetor and Toyota couldn't help out without me buying a full rebuild kit. I went to a shop in Preston and they had the screw I needed as a standard item. It wasn't cheap tho but much cheaper than a full rebuild kt at Toyota retail
Looking at my Kovea stove here it might simply be a standard 3mm metric fine thread
