    I've searched the web for hours now looking for an answer to this.

    I've recently bought a set of Z906's and a set of wall mounts, but the set of screws that came with the mounts doesn't fit the hole in the speakers.

    I've already tried 5mm and 6mm screws, the 5mm were too small and the 6mm were just too big (they only went into the hole about 2mm).

    Would anyone know what size screw I need?

    Just found out that I need a 1/4-20 X 1/2" long (1/4” Thread Diameter X 20 threads per pitch X 1/2" long) screw

    Anyone know where I could get this screw?

    These are an Imperial size. These are a real PITA to source and why speaker manufacturers use them is beyond me!! I got mine with my speaker mounting kits.

    1/4" is 6.35mm, and 20 is the teeth per inch (1.27mm pitch), an M6 bolt will usually go in a couple of turns and then jam because the pitch is wrong.

    These are often used on older or US cars and bikes, for example try:
    http://www.custom-fasteners.co.uk/acatalog/UNC_Bolts.html

    I think, also, that this size of bolt is used on camera tripods so that might be another option.

    Good luck with it anyway, and happy listening!

    I probably should've updated this thread when i sorted it out. I got onto logitech support asking for just the screws, but they said they couldn't send out the screws themselves so they sent me 5 mounting kits free of charge. Pretty nice of them.

    Anyone got a link to a site which sells these wall mounts?
    Is it a case of getting generic wall mounts and then finding the correct size screw to connect the mounts to the speakers?

    That's what I'm doing. Just in the process of trying to source the bolts for the speakers now. (And yes, they are in fact a right pain to find)

    Sorry to resurrect that old thread, has anyone found a source in the Republic for those screws? Thanks
