[GreenKeys] ASR-33 mounting screws

[Paul A. Pennington]

I won't mention any names, but there's lots of bad information in this 
thread (no pun intended :-) that should not be allowed to stand.

The American National standard for machine screws has two thread pitches for 
each screw size:  coarse and fine.  The #6-40 IS a standard thread, it's 
just the fine thread instead of the more commonly used #6-32 coarse thread.

Also, it is NOT useful to re-thread a machine screw -- there would be gaps 
from the old thread where there needed to be metal.

Having said that, I don't have a source for the screws the original poster 
was looking for.  Maybe someone on the list knows.
