What size is the screw for the handle?

Just a quick question for Chris or anyone else who might happen to know, I find myself in need of a retaining screw to hold the yoke handle on the shaft, what size is it and where might I find one quickly?

It's a metric M5 grub screw. I'd expect that any hardware shop would sell them or at least the regular M5 screws that can be used as well (while being not so nice visually...).

Yes Sergey, correct. Grub screws bite into the shaft better though as they have a hollow point cup on them that a standard bolt does not have. @Briar I can get some in the post once Royal Mail start delivering internationally again. Apparently stopped due to some sort of ransomware attack on them.
