    Ideal/Lyman screw size

    What is the screw size and pitch for the 2 screws that hold the mold to the handles? I want to get some extra ones.

    Older Ideals were a proprietary thread, 8x36? or x38 I don't really remember. Most are the 8x32 and I think all Lymans are. It isn't a bad idea to get a mold rebuild kit for a 2 or 4 cavity mold if you have a lot. It is a cheap easy source for spare parts.
