I tried a bunch of different screws and found out that the set screw is a 6-32 screw.\u00a0 This is the same size screw thread that is used to hold the wall plate around light switches.\u00a0 First I tried using a light switch screw, but the head was much too large since the set screw hole is pretty close to the side of the gear.\u00a0 I wasn’t able to find anything else useful in my collection of screws and bolts, so I went to the hardware store.\u00a0 I was looking for a fairly short screw with a small head.\u00a0 I found a couple that looked good that had small round heads.\u00a0 One uses a regular flat blade screwdriver, and the other has a phillips head.\u00a0 I tried the phillips head screw first because it was shorter and easier to turn, but the head was still too large.\u00a0 It rubbed against the gear as I turned it.\u00a0 Next I tried the other screw, and it worked pretty well.\u00a0 It doesn’t rub on the gear at all.\u00a0 It was almost too long, though.\u00a0 After I tightened the screw, which was very easy and nothing stripped, I put the cart back on the rack.\u00a0 As the gear rotates, the screw barely clears the rack.\u00a0 I think this screw will do the job, but I am going to look for a shorter screw with a small head just for appearances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
