Bridkarl, the Bakelite block #3903ODG uses the mounting screw to ground the 2 caps that are inside.  That screw is very much important.  It needs to make a good contact with the chassis.  You would be better off finding one of the other Bakelite blocks that doesn't use the mounting screw to ground the caps and switch the screws.
The original screw is 1.25 in. long with 1/4 in. head. I believe it is a #8 screw with coarse thread.
