Control box screws

Post by stag36587 »

Hi I hope a quick question - what thread size screws (or bolts) do I need to mount the control box on the bulkhead?
Thanks

Any bolt small enough diameter to go through the hole in the control box and the bulkhead. Easier with one person pushing the bolt through whilst the other locates the washer and nut

Hi, the original ones were 2BA crosshead, and with the window open one person can reach both sides. :o Available from http://www.namrick.co.uk/
Should be ready for tea time.

The two screws holding my control box to the bulk head are self tappers, no nuts.

They should be nuts, bolts and washers

Thanks for the replies guys. Actually in digging out all the old parts from the stripdown I found the originals - 2 long crosshead self tappers that fit perfectly.
