[TowerTalk] 402CD coil repair question

[Dave Hawes]

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.
