What Screws to use on Bulkhead

Post by cuchillo » Fri Oct 28, 2016 5:53 pm

Hello,

I wish to mount a bus bar onto the bulkhead under the bonnet. What screws can/should I use? I assume that its OK as the VSR has been screwed onto the bulkhead already.

Many thanks

Agree, likely No 6 or 8, pan head, slotted or pozi, and long enough that 3 threads go through the bulkhead, but as said, not into anything behind the hole.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Use Stainless if you have any.
