Be prepared to buy more than one screw though because I doubt they will sell you only one :^)

Nikon parts department (from the Nikonusa website):
Phone: 1-310-414-8107
Fax: 1-310-322-6979

They'd probably give you the info and sell you the screws.

I just noticed that my SB-800 wasn't locking in the forward position anymore... Upon investigation, I found that one of the 4 screws under the rotating flash head is missing, as is one from the bottom of the flash body :(

Does anyone know where I can find out what size/length/thread-pitch these screws are or where I can buy spares?

Thanks,
