Evo II - new style sides, lid screw fitting hole size?

[Ben Frain]

Just got a couple of new Evo II sides to replace my old ones...

The new Evo II sides have a different size hole for where the lid hinge screws go through. Anyone know what size diameter screw it is? My old screws are too big

They don't use screws on the new style eggs, Ben. They use a little black plastic plug. You should be able to pick some up from Planet, but don't hold me to that.

You can't blame planet or any of the suppliers but it would be nice if it was made general knowledge about this "upgrade", as i, like ben and probably many others have replaced sides etc and then been stuffed for a couple of 5p plastic rivets,
"why aren't they included with the sides"?

Thats too easy, and mean they get another £2.50 out of your for postage.

I never run my eggs with screws or springs in, the lid stays on well enough.
And if you get a broken ball in the egg, you can get the lid off a lot quicker.
