AX1 Tripod Mount - Thread Dimensions?

[MaverickNH]

My AX1 came with a nut embedded in the plate opposite of the BCN connectors.
It seems the right place to add a knurled-head screw to affix the
counterpoise(s) during use. I went to the hardware store and the clerk and I
tried every screw that looked like it might fir but no-go. Does anyone know
the thread dimensions?

The latest drawing just show three holes now so the new model may not have
the embedded nut.

BRET/N4SRN

It’s a 4-40 PEM nut.  Early on people discussed that the thread size was
not documented anywhere.
