[Boatanchors] R-388 Bottom Cover Screws

[Al Parker]

Hi Ron,
    The mil. manual doesn't list screws, and I don't have access to the
bottom of one at the moment so can't see what an original looks like, but
the threaded lug they go into is 1/4" deep.  I'm working on one right now,
it had a HB bot. cover & only a cupla non-orig. screws.  So, I'd say go
with it, #4 x 40 and 0.25 lg.
    You do want the bot. cov. in place when you do the alignment.

    BTW, in case anyone's reading & can help, I need a core slug for L-102
antenna coil, .256" dia. x 3-7/16" lg, also fits L-103, -114, -116, -118.
Don't really have to have the threaded end & wire hanger.
