Hi all, does anyone know the thread size for Mac classic case bolts? Thanks!

Yes! T15. Be sure you get a long-shafted driver so you can reach the screws in the upper/handle part of the case.

Thanks Scott, looking for the thread size, T15 is the torx head size. I’m replacing lost bolts you see. I’ve seen M3 mentioned but not confirmed

I feel like there was a more recent thread only a few weeks ago but I can't find it.

They're a weird size sadly.

Oh boy, odd size, thanks @Phipli. Maybe a metric to Imperial conversion🤷‍♂️
