I recall that the AE gold ano'd 8-32 are aircraft spec countersunk 100º (AN). "Normal" 8-32 are 80º...Chewbacca wrote: So what kind of screws does AE use? Are they like 8-32 with a non standard counter sunk head?
Screw them...
Possibly too much info here:

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...
