Hey jive, could you post a pic of the inside of the nose bridge of your xs'd? I would but I left mine at home.

Check out the 8th pic in post #1...those are punched rivets.

Sorry, I'm trying to look for better photos for you while you wait to see if jive responds with a photo of his back side. LOL, I mean the back of his XS's!

Sorry for the bad pic, but here is the middle of the nose bridge. I don't think they're screws though, but a way to tighten the flex coupler yourself....

I stand corrected! That looks like an Allen screw. I'm going to look at mine right now!

Thanks jive, anyone know the size, type and if it's possible to get some aftermarket ones?

Well I'll be damned, it's a grub screw with an Allen head! Learned something new today! Sorry for the incorrect feedback WireD!

I would think that the thread size is probably the same as the T6 screws, what was it 2/56? You might want to check Lowe's or a jeweler's/watch repair shop, or even hobby shops (r/c cars use grub screws a lot). The length could be 1/8 - 3/32, hard to really tell.

It's definitely a grub screw, I looked at mine more closely and I can see some blue threadlock on it. Interesting...

No problem! Try eBay too, it looks like there's lots of choices. Good luck!

If you have screws in your nose bridges, your XS are probably replicas, sorry man. The genuine x-metals all have rivets in the nose bridges, not screws.

the XS has screws. it was one of the major updates in that model. i believe the top part is allen key (around 1.5mm) and the deeper part is T-5. this is the same as the Romeo2's lens screws as far as i can tell
