MG MGB Technical - Headlamp adjuster

Obscure question, but does anyone know the thread used on the headlight adjuster screws? It's not metric and it's not UNC that I can tell.....

I know the mating thread in the headlight bowl is plastic but I'm trying to adapt the Wipac plastic bowl to take the tradition set up. The reason for this is that the new plastic bowl incorporates the adjuster in one assy, but the chrome on the headlamp lens surround is far superior on my old one than the new one (which is frankly bl**dy awful).

Anyway, if anyone knows, I'd be greatful!

It is probably a 2BA screw.

Thanks - I knew it would be a tap I didn't have! Over the short length needed I found 10-32 was close enough.
