Alpa 12 side grip hex screw = 4.5mm?

The hex screw in my Alpa 12TC's side grip is too small for 5mm but too big for 4mm. Am I right to assume that it is 4.5mm? Thank you.

No , sorry you are wrong .
The big thread on the side of ALPA cameras is a 3/8" and when using an insert (thread adapter ?) it is a 1/4" .
The two smaller threads on each side of the big 3/8" thread are M5 .

Thanks Juergen. I am referring not to the threads on the frame but the hex screw on the hand grip, circled in the attached photo.

Btw if anyone needs a black grip & various Alpa parts ping me. I have shim kits, spacers and caps left after the scum bags stole my Alpa kit a while ago.
