Nylon Screw For Orion Adapter?

Hi,

I have an Orion 1.25" to .965" eyepiece adapter with a set screw (stock #07160). This morning I discovered I made set marks on the barrels of my .965 EPs. Grr.

Questions:

1. what is the thread size for this Orion 1.25" to .965" adapter set-screw?

2. where can I purchase a nylon screw that will fit this adapter?

3. Is there another 1.25" to .965" adpater I can purchase which has a nylon set-screw or nylon tipped set-screw?

4. Are there any 1.25" to .965" adapters I can purchase that uses compression rings?

I understand putting nail polish on the tip is only a temporary fix.

Thanks for your replies and comments.
