Subject: Europa-List: Brass Toilet Seat Screws Requested
Gidday,
I'd like to make Bob Nuckolls External Power Receptacle and I need to get
hold of the brass screws recommended. If one of you guys states-side, next
time you go to Home Depot or Lowes happens to remember and would be happy to
buy 2 sets, and put them in the post, I'd kindly appreciate the help, and
beam over some money or get it to you one way or the other? Here is what
Bob says to describe them.

P.S. Where I come from there is no such thing as a brass fitting, only
plastic.
You'll need two sets of toilet-seat screws from a
hardware store or plumbing shop (be sure to get "aircraft
quality" toilet-seat screws - shouldn't cost more than $100
a set!!!). These will be about 3" long, made of brass and
come with nuts and washers. They'll be .312" coarse thread.
You need the ones with very low profile heads. You'll also
need two (.032 thick minimum) heavy brass washers [8]
with .312" holes in them and an o.d. of .500 to .625".
