[rescue] screws for spud brackets

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

Having never seen spuds in use, this might be useless info. I once got
several drives with spuds attached. The screws used were electrical cover
screws (such as a switchplate screw). I don't know if it worked, but they
were used. You can buy bulk switchplate screws.
