See: https://gemsproducts.com/product/kxpa100-mount/  and the bracket 
comes with screws.


BTW, 10-32 is what is needed (the manual is wrong)

I bought some 8-32 thumb screws from AMAZON and they are too small.

  


Did AMAZON do me wrong, or are the holes another size?

2021-03-31 Thread Hal Massey 
Make a run to the hardware store. They have a screw template that they can 
instantly use to confirm or deny the existence of 8-32 screws. It looks like a 
5 x 7 “ thin aluminum plate with a bunch of holes in it. It is free to use. 
They are also inexpensive to buy if you want to own one. 

If you have any kind of accurate measuring equipment you can google the 
diameter of an 8-32 screw and check that way also….

[Elecraft] KXPA100 MOUNTING SCREWS

2021-03-31 Thread KENT HUFFORD 
 

I have a KXPA100 amp. I am trying to mount it. The manual says - "The
bushings are threaded for 8-32 screws. Do not

use screws that extend inside the amplifier more than 1/8" (3.2 mm)."

 

I bought some 8-32 thumb screws from AMAZON and they are too small. 

 

Did AMAZON do me wrong, or are the holes another size?

 

Thanks,

Kent

[Elecraft] KXPA100 mounting screws

2020-10-06 Thread stephen shearer 

OK, the manual says #8-32 no deeper than 1/8" into case... (page 10)

NOT true, my KXPA100 takes #10-32...  SO, is the depth into the case 
1/8" or do I have more???  bigger screw??


Yes, still 32 TPI...

Help.  so I don't screw it up.  Pun intended.
