Set screw size for ALPS chuck

I lost the set screw that tightens my alps rod wrapper behind the chuck. Anyone know what specific size the set screw is so I can order replacement?

Thanks!

Go to your local hardware store. It will be quicker and cheaper. Bring in your chuck if not too inconvenient and match it

Darwin,
Remember, depending on the origin of the chuck, the set screw may be either metric or sae threads. So, if sae screw does not fit, check metric set screws.

P.S.
Which chuck are you talking about?

Best wishes.

Was hoping it was just a common thing people have already encountered.
