I usually have a surplus of screws when I finish doing anything to a

Before stripping throw a handful of assorted screws into the tray you use
to collect the screws in. That way you'll not worry about some being left
over on re-assembly.


Best to add a few BA, Whitworth and AF size bolts too as the originals
often are a very poor fit IMHO.
