[Boatanchors] Another BA hardware inquiry

[Bob Macklin]

If you do order from McMaster-Carr order a reasonable selection of the kinds
of hardware used on BA equipment.

I have a good assortment of 3-48, 4-40, 6-32, and 8-32 screws, washers, and
nuts. Mostly binder head. and cad plated.

In some cases you may find you need #5 hardware also.

hardware identification devices (the what size is it things usually on the
wall or shelving) and they no longer have any #12, just #10 and 1/4 inch.
