[DeTomaso] Techno Question: screw and stud size

[Larry Finch]

Ken,

None of those three choices would work very well; all three of your choices have a head larger in diameter than the bolt hole recess. 

I use SHCS bolts for my restorations. I offer them in stainless, Brite zinc or black oxide. 

The problem is the narrow recess the screw head must fit in. Fillister head screws are actually purpose-designed for such applications.

   Ken,

   None of those three choices would work very well; all three of your
   choices have a head larger in diameter than the bolt hole recess.

   I use SHCS bolts for my restorations. I offer them in stainless, Brite
   zinc or black oxide.

   The problem is the narrow recess the screw head must fit in. Fillister
   head screws are actually purpose-designed for such applications.

   The fillister head is a somewhat uncommon version. Its close cousins
   are pan head and cheese head machine bolts, but the fillister head has
   a smaller diameter.
