Something screwy is going on here.

So what kind of screws does AE use? Are they like 8-32 with a non standard counter sunk head?

Screw them ...

I recall that the AE gold ano'd 8-32 are aircraft spec countersunk 100º (AN). "Normal" 8-32 are 80º...

Possibly too much info here:

Oooh, here's stainless:

Note, still cheap! Couldn't find anodized alloy, though. Probably one of those deals where AE bought a couple of million from aircraft or aerospace surplus for a penny a pound.

I could be wrong...
