A11 Clock Retaining Screw

Sorry to ask such a mundane question.

I am looking to mount a USAAF A11 clock onto a block alongside a piece of B17. What is the screw size/spec for US instruments?

Who will have any at Cockpitfest ?

From a RAAF instrument order on securing aircraft clocks to instrument panels (due to increasing loss of clocks from aircraft) the following is stated for American clocks (fitted with elastic stop nuts):

Sec/Ref P/N Description
G6P/8196 G.3982 Screws, special shear hd. No. 6-32 x 3/4

In an IPB that showed this clock being fitted, AN5743L1A (Elgin 1776), attaching parts are listed as AN526-632R6 or AN526-632-8

In other IPB’s the screws are listed as AN515-6R8, AN515B6R or AN507B632R16, with nuts AN365B632 or MS20365B632C.

Basically a 6-32 screw will do the trick, with a length dependent on the panel thickness and nuts being used.
