1) Does any one know the thread sizes for the four tiny screws that hold the small metal plate that retains the felt washer (mine are on the workshop floor some where or in the treads of my boots)?
2) Not that I am tight, but the rear hub seems to need half a tube of grease. Is it not better to take the wheel off from time to time and re-pack the bearings?

Thread size is 3/16 cycle, the nearest you will find modern equivalent is 32 10 UNF, same old 55/60 degree angle difference. I got some NOS from Russells not long ago.
Yes quite difficult to find those 3/16 x 32. If you buy chaincase screws from most sellers now they will just give you 2BA as the nearest equivalent. I've used stainless 2BA in all my BSA's and bead blasted the heads for a cad plated look. Ron
