Help finding Nikon part

[Brett_Breeding]

The screw on the lens hood to my Nikon 300 2.8 lens, hood HK-26, has stripped and no longer holds the hood on the lens. The hood is in great shape and I only need find the screw assembly to fix it. Replacing the hood at $290.00 is really not an option I want to consider if I can avoid it. Two of my best local dealers have no idea how to order the part from Nikon, and the phone numbers they give me for Nikon parts have all been a wild goose chase.

Does anyone here know of anywhere I can find replacements for such small parts? Or a reliable phone number for Nikon parts?

All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I do know that Nikon has their parts department in the Torrance, CA Nikon location. You should be able to reach the parts department from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm PST by calling 310-516-7124 and asking for photo parts department. An authorized repair facility should also have access to this information and know how to order. Hope this helps, bill
