[rescue] Re: screws for spud brackets

[Leslie Connally]

Brian-

You need a "REAL" haedware store.. which is hard to find these days. If
need be, I will go to Elliot Hardware here in Dallas for you if need be.
That said, I cannot imagine how you could not find them on the web,
assuming you know what you need. All HDDs are just 6x32 size/pitch  so the
depth & head are the only issues.. If you are looking for a recessed torx
head. get real and give up and just get phillips. The hardest thing about
searching for machine screws on google, is that everyone seems to use
different forms for the screw size.. eg 6/32 6x32 6-32 etc. Screws (in
hardware stores) always come in boxes of 100. so thats no problem.


PS.. consider yourself lucky.. UPS ROLLED mine.
