Hi all,
I have bought a second hand falcon gauge altimeter and kollsman airspeed indicator.
Both look good and are in perfect working condition, however both cam with no screws to mount them to the panel.
Anybody have any idea what the 4 "standard" screws are such instruments accept? (they both look like they would accept the same size/type of screw).

Michael,
When I did the panel on the C140, I bought brass screws from AC Spruce. I think they were #6 screws.

Pretty sure they are just standard 6-32 screws. I bought mine at the local hardware store.

I went with brass for the sake of the compass.

ACSpruce sells instrument screws. I think they are #6 and long.

I'm sure you would be able to find a bolt and fastener shop in the Gong that will have what you need. Just take the instruments along when you go shopping. Forget about hardware stores in Aus for anything like this.
