[Milsurplus] Help with TCS Screw thread sizes

[Jay Coward]

Just curious here, was the lettering of your panels engraved,silk screened or raised letters? Many of the surviveing cast panels have some sort of "cancer" coming up through the surface finish. If your panels come out looking good there may be some folks interested in them.

 Hello all,
 
 I am restoring an early TCS pair (pre -5) and I am having to 
 have new front panels made due to modifications done by past 
 owners. The front panels of these are made from sheet 
 aluminium as opposed to the cast alloy panels of later 
 variants.  I need to know some screw sizes and threads so 
 that I can tap the corresponding threads into the panels. I 
 have the screws but don't have a thread gage.
 
 a.  the screws that attach the logging chart frames, and
 
 b.  the screws that retain the meters in the transmitter
 
 I know there are others for control lock supports but they 
 are the same as "a".
 
 Can anyone identify these, please?
 
 Cheers
 Dave
