Gotoh bridge set screw size

Hi guys,

Anyone know the size of the hex set screws used for height adjustment on the Gotoh vintage 6 screw strat bridge (GE101T-C)?

Are they M1.5 ?
I want to see if I can pick up some shorter set screws so I can keep the set-up acceptable without having to shim the neck.

Only the two E strings currently have shorter set screws. The rest are so long they are in the way when playing as they stick up way above the strings.

The technical drawing on their site doesn´t make any reference to the hex screw size.
 
FYI In case it is of use to anyone else in the future.

1) I'd guess it is standard for non US made strat style bridges, the saddle height adjustment screw are the same as on a Gotoh VS-100 and the stock bridge that came on another guitar I tried, but not a Fender US Standard strat.

2) According to a couple of local hardware shops they are M3 grub screws.

I´ve ordered some shorter M3 grub screws so will find out soon.

Just editing this for future reference in case it´s of use as no-one seems too interested, so not going to send it to the top again.

I ordered M3x8mm grub screws, and those together with a few of the 5mm grub screws that came with the bridge were enough to get it nicely set-up without taking chunks out of my left hand every time I play.
