No, as would be obvious to anyone looking
carefully at the photo (or the
real thing!), it's 1/4" x 20 UNC.? I really must learn to think before
putting finger to keyboard.
If it's "quarter-twenty", that's a size shared by many refrigerators
and
other heavy household appliances.? I think I even have a few of those
mushroom-headed screws salvaged from one.
Except the proper screws are countersink head, not mushroom, because
mushroom heads would prevent the kickplate being fitted (and the shank
is 5/16" - only the end is threaded 1/4-20).
Ah, okay--I'm used to HP racks, which are a bit more traditional.
Well, there's always the ol' lathe...
