Anyone know where I can source a couple screws for my TPS? I mangled the heads of mine pretty good when I took them out the other day.

I think they have torx heads and have a superfine thread so not a screw that is easily found at a hardware or parts place i wouldn't think.

 

Done that a few times! The bolts are nothing special and if you have a hardware store or a place like Fastenal near you just get a M4x1.0-14 bolt. And to be sure just bring a bolt with you and check the thread pitch/length. I've had a few be 20mm length (it's a Rover ). And the head doesn't need to be torx. Also grab (2) M4 flat washers.


The OE part # is SC104141L (LR calls this a screw) and if you want to order it Go NutZ!> SCREW M4 x 14mm, RNI741, SC104141L - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts

 

I'm going to make a guess based on the torque value required.
4mm with a pitch of 0.7. A good hardware store should have something.
Now granted, I am just guessing without taking mine apart.

 

ok, I'll bring one in and see if the hardware store has it. Thanks!

 

Thank you again for the help.

The one on the right I had to dremel slots into the head and use a slotted screwdriver to get it out - that one was tough but not as bad as the other. After getting the first one out, I ended up just removing the head of the second one and sliding the sensor off. Once the sensor was off, I could grab what was left of the screw with a vice grips to get it unscrewed. it was locked in there so tight that I could see the shaft twisting a bit as I was torquing on it with the vice grips.



Ended up getting a couple at Menards. $.59 each.







Made sure to put some anti-sieze on the threads this time.

 

I did the same thing to mine when I removed them. They are tight and the torx doesn't really cut it when trying to loosen them. I went to Fastenal and they had the right ones. Also I put Loctite on them when I replaced them.

 

Home Depot sells hex head which I preferred. Fit fine. They're in the pull out drawers.
