angles for countersinks

Countersunk angles are measured by degrees as opposed to different angles for different screws. A quick dip into wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersink) states that both BA and Metric screws are at 90 degrees. So a quick look on the familiar internet trading site should produce a 90 degree countersink. When I fine tuned my BFP I used a 90 degree countersink with 2BA screws and then painted the heads using the humbrol model paints for a satin black finish.

Dave

P.S. Apologies to the grammar Police I may have used countersink/countersunk incorrectly but it is not a word I use often!

hhmmmmm

I can see your point, but there does seem to be an abundance of spitfire plans floating around and yet restoration businesses still exist, therefore i dont see why plans for the hurricane would be any different?

Sorry to disappoint guys, but im not the Dave making the simhardware replica simulator!

im looking for any drawings that cover the rudder bar as the only ones i have managed to dig up contain the overview drawings and no measurements, so anything related to this area would be a great help!!!
