Dave,
That is what I used on my model IV.- I used screws about 3/4" long and on
ce in a while they would back out a thread or two, but I never lost one in
900 hours.- After getting tired of tighening them from time to time, I us
ed some medium thread locker on the screws.- No problems then.

Mine look for all the world like the original method of fastening was using
very course sheet metal screws in the tabs in the (poor) cellphone photo.
Is this what everyone uses? It seems to me they'll fall out and end up in a
nother aircraft's tire.
