I am in need of some help with some compact parts that I have acquired to hopefully make a full machine.
I am missing a few screws which are needed to basically keep the whole thing together. If there are any alternative screws please let me know which will work.
It's missing the screw for the handle, one for the black body support in the compartment and the handle screws to hold it onto the base.
I think it should attach to the base by a normal handle screw and "bolt" type thing but I'm not too sure. Otherwise I should have a spare.
Here are some pictures of the places I need screws.

The screw is needed for the handle.

Any ideas if a tp1 handle screw will work?

Thanks for any help

I don't think the hole is threaded but I'm going to try a Turbo power 1 screw tomorrow when I get to my other parts box. Inside the handle is some metal "clips" which may act as a thread but I thought someone on here who has a compact might be able to point me in the right direction.

If all else fails looks like a homemade repair it is.
 
The clip is a very accommodating nut, in effect. The original screw was long and fairly thick. A Turbopower screw may well work, but from memory the original screw was not unlike that used under the hood to keep the handle bail in situ. I was about to say the original was also a slotted head type...and then I saw the screw you have inside the bag compartment. Have a guess where that is from.
