72 240z Choke Knob Screw size and type

[Johnny wick]

Does anyone know the exact screw size and type for the 1972 240z Choke Knob??? Mine is worn and cannot manage to fasten the knob to the lever! Any alternatives other than silicone or any kind of glue!

Even if someone did know the exact size it's not like you can go to the hardware store and buy one,

it's like the size of a grain of sand.  Take the choke knob off, cover the lever with a piece of masking tape,

push the knob back on, you are done.

masking tape? will this make the lever fatter and thus avoid the choke knob from falling when lifted or pushed?

You may find that size in Hobby shops that sells parts for RC Cars, Planes and Helicopters/Drones.

Is it a hex head bolt?  I cant even see in there.  I assumed it was a flat head but I must be wrong.
