[TowerTalk] 402CD coil repair question

It looks like the replacement of the plated self tapping screws with 
stainless was insufficient to prevent one of the coils from going 
open circuit on the driven element here.  I plan to take the beam 
down to replace the self tappers with a machine screw all the way 
through the coil.

Does anyone remember the recommended screw size and length?  I can't 
find that particular detail in my archives of 402CD modification 
information.

Thanks.
