Aren't they all just sheet metal screws? With the holes drilled in the uni body.

i need someone to go out and take a pic of the screws that go in the locations i circled. i have an array of screws and none seem to "match" up to the thread. i figured it would be easier if someone just took a picture of the two so i wouldn't be guessing.

repuguru, there are different head types and different sheet metal sizes.

none of my screws seem to be matching the threads that have been cut by the screw. yes i can just put a sheet metal screw in but if i use the wrong on then i have to go pull it to use on the right thing down the road. i just thought it would be easier for someone with 10 min and a digital camera to pull the screw out and take a pic, either holding it next to its hole and/or telling me where it went. that would save me a buttload of trial and error time and much mental anguish.

The screws that go on the top are small philips screws (maybe .25" in diameter and about 1.0" long). The one that goes on the bottom has a larger philips head, but it is still about the same length.

Jermey they are just regular screws... Doesnt really matter what they look like as long as they screw into the body. A word of warning tho those screws in that place like to strip out,if you take a phillips screw driver and place it on the metal where the screw was threaded in and hit it LIGHTLY with a hammer, it will push the metal back in and the screws will get tighter when you put them back in...

Now you know thats not the only screw holes, theres one upside down too....On that back part...

yeah, i have that one in and the bottom lower with the snap. but these screws shouldn't be that hard to get into "their" proper hole since they threaded it. but i haven't found a screw yet that goes in like it came out of the hole.
