However, I am not sure 5-40 UNC screws are any easier
to find (at
least not over here, as I said, even getting the 'mormal' 2-56, 4-40,
6-32, 8-32 is difficult). And it's not 'right'. I might as well spend
a couple of afternoons in the garage making the right screws.
There are some application-specific wierdnesses too. For example,
tacquets on US-made piston valvesets for musical instruments are 3-
48. Fortunately, I do have a set of taps and a die for that
thread.
