Dear Listers, There are just a few more days left of this year's List Fund Raiser. Response has been good so far, but we're well behind last year at this point. If you've been waiting until the last minute to make your Contribution, now might be good time to show your support and maybe pick up a nice gift as well! Please remember that there is no commercial advertising on these Lists and the *only* means of keeping them running is through your Contributions during this Fund Raiser. If it weren't for your individual Contributions, these Lists could easily become economically infeasible and simply cease to exist. You probably can't even take the family out to dinner for $20 these days, but your individual Contribution of the same amount makes a huge difference in keeping the List services alive. Please make a Contribution today with a Credit Card or Paypal: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 Thank you!

It seems that it is hard to find brass fasteners that are Black Ox coated AND are something other than phillips or slotted head. McMaster-Carr (which most of the replies suggested) has a great selection of brass fasteners, but none of them that I could see were Black Ox coated. They have steel in Black Ox, but not brass. I guess there's always self-painting the heads. -Sean #40303 On 11/18/10 5:36 PM, Sean Stephens wrote: > I am trying to locate a supplier of black brass machine screws for my > panel.

I need that switch panel on the bottom left for Guns and Bombs on the -10. I know the regs prevent flying for hire, but do they mention anything about strafing runs? I guess maybe just not over congested areas? :) -Sean #40303 DO NOT ARCHIVE ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:59:28 AM PST US From: Tim Olson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Brass Torx or Socket Head Screws For Panel That's what I did on mine.

The kits are $70/10, but with prepaid postage, they're now $92.50. The postage is $2.25 each.

It was a fairly early 2000's model with mostly 6-pack of steam gauges. Obviously Cirrus had to source them somewhere.
