I think I got in over my head and could use some help. The screws are very short so I assume they were originally for mounting the solenoid to a metal lensboard. I tried counterskinking but the holes pulled through when I tightened the screws. Now they wont tighten at all. Does anyone know the size of these screws so I can try finding longer screws and washers so I can attach through the full thickness of the lensboard? |
