What size screws

[justplugit]

Are you guys using on NJ Tackle surfster #2 lip? Thanks.

Tinman lips, USDA grade AA
They come with hole size 3/32", use #2 X 1/2" s.s. pan head sheet metal screws.
I've also drilled them out to 1/8" and used #4 X 5/8" s.s. round head wood screws. Either way, it's all good.

Thanks Butcher. The samllest SS with pan head iv'e been able to find is #4x1/2 or3/8. Was hoping someone knew whre to get a#2 SS panhead,can't find them anywhere Don't want to go to the #2 flathead slotted as it doen't look good. Guess i will retap lip and use the #4x1/2.

I'm pretty sure I got the #2 X 1/2" p.h. sheet metal screws at West Marine last summer. The #4 X 5/8" wood screws were special order.May want to check McMaster-Carr. Welcome to component hell. Best o' luck.

#4 x 1/2 ss .. little packages at home depot,, i think there red packages and you gotta reem the holes on the lip .. looking at a real surfster I did notice #4 is a little large..
