I have a mold that needs the screws to attach the mold to the handles. Can someone please point me in the right direction for a few of them? The mold is a Lyman 2 cavity.

Dig around at a good hardware store in their slide out bins where the little stuff is....

Or, call Lyman and make your best deal.
They'll send ya a couple for free- or maybe charge a couple of bucks.

I got desperate one time and drilled & tapped them to a slightly larger size, 8-32 I think,
but that was a emergency, and last resort.

Well, I found some 8-32 7/8" socket head screws for sale. The link above did not have them available. I got them from Tacoma Screw Products, but I had to buy 100 (it only cost $15 bucks for all of them). I was glad to find ones that were made in the USA, the ones on Amazon seem to be made in the PRC.

Why not just call Lyman Customer Service.....they'd be the correct screws and you might get them for free.
