Default Micro Fasteners

Thanks Vic!

I have already talked to Bill Fleisher, just this morning. The SS screws that Micro Fasteners have are the "Torx" drive type. I was hoping to find hex (or "Allen") drive socket flat heads. If I can't find hex, I'll go with the Torx or as it is referred to in some places, 6-lobe.

Thanks again,

The B-58 was put together with 100 degree stainless hex screws. Maybe my RV-7A would cruise as fast as the B-58's did if I use the same fasteners Oh well, guess I we would need stabilators to counter mach tuck. I am using the MicroFasteners "Torx" screws on mine.
