Broken carry handle!!!

The carrying handle on my Spider III has broken.

 

The thread on one of the screws holding the handle in place stripped and pulled out while I was carrying it to a work Gig.

 

Where can I get replacement screws??

 

What size are they, not a common thread size (4.6mm Dia, 1.1mm pitch)??

 

Not had the amp long, good product let down by a poor design of handle fixing!!!

    If you take the screw to a local hardware store...they can match it up.....

    Re: Broken carry handle!!!

    I too have screws pulling out of the carry handle on my Spider Valve amp.  Just replacing the screws is not going to get it.  Does anyone know of a construction schematic?  I don't believe that the standard screw system is "beefy" enough to support the weight and would like to modify it.

      I do agree with you, the two 4.6mm diameter screws that hold the handle on are pretty poor.  This is clearly a design fault. 

       

      I have called the service centre and left a message, I wait to see how quickly Line 6 are at dealing with the fault.
