some time ago I bought the Andair PX375-TC boost pump for my RV-7.
I'm was now at the point that I installed the pump on the cabin cover but made a stupid mistake during drilling and I'm wondering how to solve it.
I accidentally reamed the holes in the feet of the pump to #12 for 10-32 size fasteners. They should have been #19 for 8-32 socket head SS screws (MS16995-27).
I believe that installing the 8/32 screws is not an option as the whole pump may wobble after a while with vibration in the oversize holes.
So I started looking for some possible screws that would be 10-32 in size and would fit in a K1000-3 nutplate.
Does any of you have an idea for 10-32 size screw that fit a K1000-3 nutplate which have the smallest head possible ?
I was thinking of the MS16996-11 (which is the upsized 10-32 5/8 version of the prescribed MS16995-27 8/32 but wonder if that still would work.
I tried putting an AN3 bolt in or a 10R12 SS screw but the head of these interferes with the little socket head screws in the pump itself.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
