Setscrew for the manual choke knob

Mitsubishi Delica L400 production commenced in 1994 -- After much anticipation, the L400 arrived on Canadian Soil in 2009!

Looks the same as the L300 manual choke screw.

lol
I know it's tiny

I don't want to go buy a box of 25 and find it doesn't fit :)
Trying to find a place that is reasonably close that sells singles is difficult
Those places also have a minimum purchase.

Hoping to know what it is before i get there.
No one seems to want to let me take them out of the store to try them ;)

I've tried computer case/mother board screws
looking for others i have kicking around.

The official size isn't "tiny", that's preposterous. It's "teeny".

Have you thought of parking outside of the local fastener shop, going in with the knob and telling them that you need a metric screw to fit the knob, keep the receipt (with a return policy) go out to the carpark, see if it fit's and if it doesn't ~ return said screw and take another blind stab at 'er :-D

Or another way around it is to go to the useful links thread in Delica FAQ Section and load your VIN into the Mitsubishi field, find the OEM number and start at the local Mitsu dealer or cross reference it at Lordco or whatever it is in your neck of the woods. Just a thought.

Yeah tiny barely covers this.

Rona has the best selection of small set screws and I just did this in July

Its either a metric 4-32 or a 6-32 thread. Look for a short (under 1") threaded rod with a hex pattern in one end so you can use an allan wrench. Rona sells them prepacked in little bags in their fasteners section.....usually sold individually.
