On this occasion I would buy the fastening screws from Light Aero Spares
- they sell dome headed black brass screws and lock nuts which look
better and are cheaper than the Aircraft Spruce ones and are certainly
not complicated - can't remember the length but if you give them the
panel thickness etc. they will sort it out. The DI and horizon use the
same bolts, although the instuments are threaded and you will have to
watch the bolt length - you'll almost certainly need to cut them short.
Any problems sorting this out with them, then come back to me - they
probably have a record of what I originally bought.
