Pro/Forums - View Single Post - What size screws/threaded rods do you use to mount the block?

Mark Larson · 04-15-2003, 11:38 PM

I have three sets of threaded rods/screws here with me - all #8-32.

1. Stock Maze2 mounting nylon threaded rods. 3" length.
2. Steel #8-32 screws. 2" length.
3. Steel #8-32 screws. 1¾" length.

I want to use the smallest length, but don't know what everyone else uses - before i open the package i want to see what everyone else is using. The 3" nylon rods stuck out too far when mounted with the springs fully compressed.

I also got some knurled nuts. For all those who aren't using knurled nuts, get some from your hardware store!! They're a very good investment and will let you tighten your screws easily and precisely.

(btw i also posted this on oc-forums but figured i'd get a more edumacated (

) response here)
