All, Thanks for the quick responses. Dick Dievendorff got back to me and confirmed what everyone told me - use the pan head screw.

Usually the hole is countersunk if the intent is to use a flat head screw. If the hole is NOT countersunk, I'd use a pan head, so long as the head standing proud of the surface will not interfere with some other part(s). 73, George T Daughters, K6GT CU in the California QSO Party (CQP) October 5-6, 2013 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
