I need some new metal not plastic mounting bracket thumb screws. I need some for my 959 and 2950dx. Both radios are the same size. But, thumb screws come in 4mm, 5mm, 6mm. Which one fits these radios? And others like cobra? I want to buy a couple hand fulls. Also wheres a good place to buy them from. The ones on ebay are a rip off

I think they’re 5mm. I believe the Magnum radios used 6mm.

But I been in the sun all day... wait on a second opinion.
 
Link doesn't seem to be showing, so just search this title on Amazon:


Redman CB Ham radio Cobra Galaxy Mounting STOCK 5mm Knobs 24 per order
 
I should have added that, as I have a couple Cobra 25 NW ST WX I have them in, too. They seem to be the more common size.

Pretty sure the Palomar 250 Elite and Superstar 400 use them too..
