Chassis bolts for '30s sets
#6

The order came in and all was good but the speed nuts for the speaker are not going to work. They are the proper size on the outside but the hole in the center is just a little too big. A number 8 wood screw won't tighten down, it slips. So I've gone to plan B placed another hardware order to full my empty draws and should be in tomorrow. Along with that some new speed nuts. We'll see how that goes.

The 'A113 nuts work fine with number 10 wood screws but I was afraid to use them. #10 is pretty big and I didn't want to damage the back of the front arch.
I'm uncertain as to how the sizing works between wood, machine, and self tapping screws. Does the thread pitch matter when using a speed nut? Or is the center of the screw thinner on the tapping and wood screws so they don't fit as tightly into the speed nut? Is a #8 all always a #8 in size? This nut and screw is making my head hurt!

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
