KX1 Construction Tip - How to tell apart the nylon screws from the metal.

Martin Gillen
Hi.

The KX1 kit comes with some metal screws and 2 nylon
screws.  They are both the same thread size and height
and they are both black, however there are three ways
to distinguish them:

1) The nylon screws have a single slot accross the
   entire head;  The metal screws have a philips head.

2) Drop them onto a metal plate from a height of about
   10cm.  It should be possible from listening to the
   sound they make which are metal and which are
nylon.

3) Try to pick them up with a lightly magnetised
   screwdriver.

Martin.
