You can find the fasteners you need at:
Wicks Aircraft Supply
410 Pine Street
Highland, IL 62249
800-221-9425.
The countersunk screw heads used in aircraft are 100 degrees, which is not
the same angle as those you'd find at an ACE HARDWARE . Wicks is a first
class outfit, and gives first class service.

Subject: RE: M_Boats: 12-28 fasteners?
Hi guys. I'm mounting larger halyard cleats on our M15's mast and I bought a
4 inch Schaefer jam cleat that uses a #12 fastener. 12-24s are easy to
find. Now, 12-28s are an entirely different story. I'd like to use the
fine thread to get a better purchase for the fastener. Anybody encountered
an outfit that carries this rare size? Or am I overdoing it. Will the
12-24 work okay? Thanks. t
