Columbian D45 Restoration

Sorry, I dont have any pictures yet, I have it at a bodyshop where they are sand-blasting it. I should have it back monday....hopefully.... I broke it down last night and I am in need of new Jaw pad screws....two of them were wrong. The pads are worn but will work. I am fixing this up and and will give it to a friend as a present. Does anyone have any idea if I can find these at one of the box stores? Any idea what the thread pitch is on them? I took one of the screws to Menards and couldnt get it to thread into the "board of nuts" they have they tells you what it pitch it is.

I did a basic search and didnt find anything!

Thanks guys, Drew

I've had a few of those vises and i think the insert screws are 5/16 coarse but no idea of the pitch. Its going to be standard and not fine thread so it should be easy to figure out.
