Threaded holes and hole sizes in RJ Rocket chassis?

[Mark]

I'm trying to get all the hardware (screws etc) for my Rocket chassis built by RJ.

So my first question is what is the size of the screws that secures the 9 pin sockets and what thread is it?

My second question is, am I correct in assuming the holes for choke and threaded stand off is 6/32"?

My third question where do I find female to female hex threaded standoffs to hold the circuit card?

Thanks for you assistance, look forward to your reply.

Mouser carries just about anything you would need regarding standoffs. Not sure how accessible they are to you in OZ though.

You might check the larger hardware stores in your area.

This looks like it is the right size for the standoff.

Thanks for that tip by the way, it was very helpful.

I think 1/2" is long enough for the board stand-offs, but I agree 6-32 is the right thread size. For 9-pin sockets I use 4-40 x 3/8".

Thanks for the replies. I can go ahead and use 6/32 for the 9 pin sockets. The holes for the standoffs on my chassis are quite a bit bigger than a 6/32 sized screw. I think I'll have to look for somethink larger.

I'll head down to the fasteners store tomorrow after work.
