Acoustic Research AR XB turntable missing screw replacement options

Hello all,

Only just discovered that the AR XB turntable I have is missing the screw components which connect the metal chassis underneath to the top black metal plate. Looking at the service manual for the AR XA (I couldn't find one for the XB), it looks like the screw mechanism consists of 5 parts (at least on the XA). Photos attached.

Has anyone ever replaced one of these, or would anyone have any advice on how to do this? I know it's a bit of a specialized ask but I figured I'd give it a shot.

That's just the transport screw hole. Used to lock down the subchasis to the top plate during transport. Nothing to worry about. If you need to move or ship the XB you can find the screw at Home Depot or similar. That's where I found mine anyway when I had to ship it off to Marc for the full Monty.
