Title: Third question for Christ Rigotti
Post by: petermick on January 19, 2018, 09:53:31 AM

Hi Christ, it's me again.  Where did you find the 3 mm x 8mm screws?  I went to Ace Hardware and True Value Hardware and neither has anything smaller than 4 x 10.  Also what is the thickness of the ply motor mount material you used.

If you want send your reply to my e-mail at pmick82541@aol.com.

Thanks

Peter Mick

Pete,
The motor mount is made from 3/16" Birch ply.  For the screws, perhaps 3x10mm would be a little better.  Be sure to use a washer under the head.
I think you can get them from Dubro #2123.  Washers are #2109
