It's really not a screw, but instead it's an internally threaded "socket", with a slotted screw head.
I have no idea what size it is, and the only way that I know you can buy one, is in the sets that comes with the **** and the screw (actually the set comes with 2 different length ***** and the screw).

I was messing with this also recently and was wondering is the chrome **** suppose to sit outside the hole in the console or nest right into it? Mine sticks out a bit and I think it looks wrong.

Hi,
Originally there was a short black plastic 'sleeve' that slid on to the clock's shaft before the **** went on and the screw went on. It's about 1/4-3/8" long and fills the gap between the **** and the face of the gauge bezel.
It's shown as an item in the AIM.
Regards,
Alan

I wish Alan could come look at my convertible top and tell me why it isn't kosher.......
