I have a nice Helios vernier caliper that lacks only the thumbscrew that
clamps the precision adjuster.
The fine adjusted is the right-hand clamp screw that sticks up in the

The screwthread appears to be M2.5-0.35mm.
Anyway, anybody have any idea where to get a replacement thumbscrew?
Thanks,

Um, make one, maybe? Should be easy with a lathe. Make a couple for
future losses. Metric dies are available these days.
