Hey all,
I bought a Commercial Ektar lens some months ago, ordered a properly bored lensboard from China to fit my Tachihara, but I'm having the darndest time finding somewhere locally to drill holes for the flange screws.
I took the screws to Home Depot to discover that they're #2 machine screws, though I couldn't determine the thread spacing. I can't justify sending everything to SK Grimes to have them drill me 5 holes for $65+s/h. I only have to make threaded holes in a thin Linhof board so I was thinking I might be able to do it myself with self-tapping screws.
The only problem is, I don't know what to search for to find #2 self-tapping machine screws. I don't mind buying a couple different thread sizes to try them in the flange to see if they'll work. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
