EMERGENCY FITTINGS
In the event you come up missing a set screw or oil galley plug, and need to finish a job, one can be quickly made by threading the head of a stainless-steel hex-socket head cap screw. Then cut off and file the smaller original threaded portion of the cap screw flat or to a pointed tip, to suit your needs. For the picture example, an M8 x1.25 set screw was made from a 10-24 hex-socket head cap screw.
