not that mine are loose or anything.........

I neglected to order some of the screws I need for my Pi Two's which are nearing completion. I haven't found them locally at Lowes or HD or the local hardware store. They are cheap and the mail order places have a minumim order.

So, anybody have 20 or so #8, 3/4" or 5/8", black, philips, pan head screws? I can send a few bucks and an SASE or will trade - I've 90 #6, 3/4", black pan heads........

pleeease, pretty please....

I used to always paint the heads black. Works just fine, but takes a few minutes to do.

But I keep about a thousand of those black #8 screws

As you will seef rom this most wonderful website, there is little difference in shank size:
Creating is more like performing than listening

Yeah, I actually have bins of about a thousand of both sizes. The difference isn't much, but some applications seem to prefer one to the other. The screw head of the larger one overlaps the gasket on some speakers, others it's just right.

Numero 6 heads too small [message #42648 is a reply to message #42640] Thu, 09 October 2003 05:14 Go to previous message

the #6 heads are too small for the alpha 10 holes - not a tight fit.
