I have a Wilson 5000 that came with only one set screw, supposed to be two. It's the little allen head screw that sets the whip into its base. It looks like a 10-32 size thread but that does not fit correctly. If you hasppen to know the size I can stop by my local hardware and get one tomorrow.
Thanks.

I dont know off the top of my head and I doubt that anyone will know unless they thread count the screw. I would recommend taking the screw to Lowes or HomeDepot and matching up the threads there. They have a lot of options and a thread count chart. I doubt that Wilson has any reason to use reverse threads or a weird teeth count, so you should be able to match something up fairly easy.

Yeah that's what I'll end up doing, just wanted to see if there were any bolt geeks out there that might know off the top of their head.
Thanks, Bruce.

I have a pair of Wilson silverload 5 footers on my truck, but its raining pretty hard and I'd rather not get wet again today.
