REFLECTOR: PK Screws for Door Damper Bracket

[Brainard, Jerry]

Andy,

I can't tell if these are the Torx drive, but I bought a bunch of the
Torx head stainless steel version after tearing up too many of the
Philips head on Bret's plane.  I recommend this change, especially on
the cowling.  The Phillips are just to fragile (OK - maybe I'm just too
strong) for any location that is going to get multiple insert and remove
cycles.

As I recall, you were my the source of this vendor.  Wish they had more
sizes and lengths.  I think I hate Phillips head anything.  I replace
them with Allen or Torx whenever possible.

Keith,

I have used these.  They are stainless 100 degree.  I bought 100 of
them.
They have been nice to have around for stuff like this.

Thanks, Ken!  #10 x 1" Flat-Head Zinc-Plated Sheet Metal Screws it is!
My local Ace Hardware has them in Philips drive.

  I checked my kit and they are 10 X 1 flat head sheet metal screws
(80207 ?). They are NOT 100 degree screws and my countersunk holes,
match the screws. Good Luck.

	I meant than the countersinking appears to be 100 degrees, not
37 degrees!

	I was going to mount the angle brackets to the doors today.  The
manual says to use "PK Screws".  No hint as to diameter, length, head
style, material, finish, or part number.  I searched through my
fasteners, but did not find any "PK Screws".  The materials list for the
chapter does not list any, either.  

	The brackets are countersunk, so I surmise that either flat head
or oval head screws are intended.  

	Upon arriving back at home, a Google search reveals that PK
Screws are sheet metal screws, and are available in many combinations of
diameter, length, material, finish and head style.  Does anyone know
what part is actually intended so that I can order some?  Since the
countersinking seems to be 37 degrees, I don't suppose that I can find
any locally.

	Thanks! 

	Keith Hallsten
