Need to find the correct the correct screw sizing for the speakers
My sons left speaker fell off and the screw is long gone. The speaker itself needed replaced so I ordered a new one from ifixit. Got the replacement and it doesn't come with a screw. I found this guide on ifixit with a link to some screws -> Where to get replacement screw for Valve Index?
So I figured I could order the size listed in that post: M1.7x8mm
Ordered some off eBay and found out that the length is correct but the M size is incorrect. The original is slightly bigger then the ones I ordered.
Does anyone know the actual size of the screw for the index speakers?
I will buy some but have no idea what to get, I even popped down to my local ace hardware but they don't have anything small enough.
Update (06/07/23)
I have found success, a M2 8mm screw will fit the headphones.
Not sure on the tolerance but I took a chance on M2 size screws. Here is what I got off of amazon -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TVP1G5B?psc...
Questa è una buona domanda?

Do you have/can you buy/can you borrow a caliper to measure the outer diameter of the original screw?

Thanks dino0... I am an idiot, I do have some calipers. I took a bunch of measurements and get 1.93mm in diameter. Not exactly sure how accurate my cheapo calipers are. For reference I checked the 1.7mm screws I bought and they measured 1.68mm. Now I need to figure out how that would transfer to buy it off ebay size.

@robertkell36790 Maybe it's an imperial screw like #1 or 5.64"? Or, also if uncommon, metric M1.9 screws do exist (and 1.93 would be in tolerance)
