I got my x pin diff the other day but unless I am going mad there isn't a grub screw in the box. MS say it would be best for me to source my own. I am at work and may knock off early to head to my local nut and bolt man but to give me a head start does anyone happen to know the thread of the screw? It's a long shot I know.

Thanks for your helps again.

Strange - mine came assembled and I had to take it apart to fit the output shaft.
I'm pretty certain it was a caphead screw, not a grubscrew (I'm sure there was a recess for the head to go in).
Mine was 4 months ago, maybe they've changed the design? (I assume by MS you mean MiniSpares, not MiniSport).

The ones I have fitted have had a capscrew too.

I find the easiest way is to super glue the bolt to the end of one of my fingers.
