REFLECTOR: need 6-40 ss screws

[Laurence Coen]

Scott,

What kind of pitot do you have?  If it's a shark fin style like I have, I 
believe the proper screws are 5-40, not 6-40.  These are really hard to 
find.  My solution was to install the pitot with high temp. silicon (600 F). 
You could run a 6-32 tap in the holes if it really is 6-40 and go that way.
