Size of socket cap for Kona Impact headset

[Fenland Dragon]

Please can anyone help? My 1996 Kona Cindercone returned from a service at Halfords with a missing side socket cap screw at the side of the impact headset. I will not pursue them to replace it, it’s too much trouble than it’s worth.

Please could anyone advise what is the correct size screw, length thread etc so I could source one myself. I need this urgently as I am taking the bike to Cornwall on Sunday 24th July to ride the Camel Trial

Thanks Jim

that looks like it's had the threads ripped out of it. repairable, but needs an insert.
it is most likely m5x1.0 20mm

Many Thanks for your help

I just took these pictures of the bolt from my 94 Cindy as they may help. Looks like it’s from the same headset. My headset is cracked so ignore that difference Best of luck.

I love it when I'm right, and in this case, I'm as right as a right thing from rightsville.

Greetings from Cornwall. Thanks all who helped. I ordered a M5 x 25 socket cap from AZ fasteners this was the incorrect size - too big. I was left panicking last Saturday trying to find a correct socket cap . I eventually found a M 2.5mm thread socket cap in one of my tool boxes which seems to fit. Camel Trial Wadebridge to Padstowe completed today. My wife is using the Cindercone and I am using the ‘98 Hahanna.

You got Halfords to service your bike. What did they do to it?
