KXPA100 MOUNTING SCREWS

I have a KXPA100 amp. I am trying to mount it. The manual says - "The
bushings are threaded for 8-32 screws. Do not

use screws that extend inside the amplifier more than 1/8" (3.2 mm)."

I bought some 8-32 thumb screws from AMAZON and they are too small.

Did AMAZON do me wrong, or are the holes another size?

Thanks,

Kent

Make a run to the hardware store. They have a screw template that they can instantly use to confirm or deny the existence of 8-32 screws. It looks like a 5 x 7 “ thin aluminum plate with a bunch of holes in it. It is free to use. They are also inexpensive to buy if you want to own one.

If you have any kind of accurate measuring equipment you can google the diameter of an 8-32 screw and check that way also….

Regards
-Hal

See: https://gemsproducts.com/product/kxpa100-mount/ and the bracket
comes with screws.

BTW, 10-32 is what is needed (the manual is wrong)
