Default Hood Tach

Hi, my hood tach started to seperate on my 70 Judge. I took it off and I am missing one of the screws which is in the top right of the hood tach. I attached a picture. So I need a screw, does anyone know what size these are, and where I can get one? Also I could not get any of my sockets in there without making the path to the screw bigger. Does anyone have any tricks to get to these. Thanks, Marc.

40 years ago, I wanted to open the hood tach on a GTO I had just bought, I took an old socket and ground down the exterior diameter till it could fit into there. Still have it in my toolbox.

Thanks North for the response. I didn’t see this until today. Yesterday I texted Randy Watson www.rctach.com and he was helpful texting me back with the correct size for socket which is 3/16 and yes it has to be ground down as North said.
