Thanks for that info. I knew there was a packing list on there somewhere but couldn't see it. I now realize I didn't see it because it is on the back of the mounting template that I cutout for installing the Tortoise! Jamie

PM your address and i will mail you an official tortise screw.
Jamie,
Try a #4 self tapper about 3/8" long. You can also run a 4-40 tap into the hole and use a standard 4-40 screw. Add a drop of loctite if you're paranoid about it loosening.

Argh! Installing a Tortoise turnout motor and I have lost the little set screw that holds the actuator wire onto the moving arm. Anyone know the size of this screw? I don't want to strip the hole and end up ruining a Tortoise. I guess I'll pull the one out of my other Tortoise and head off to Home Depot, but wanted to see if anyone knew the exact size I should look for. Jamie
