I may have to try the 2-56 size screw, as I do sometimes have trouble with
the
4-40 size. Some cans are easier to work with and drill and tap the screw
holes
than others. I always use the brass screws, and solder directly to the
brass. I
usually cut the screw heads off the brass after tightening them down and
before
soldering.
