The TR-21 comes with long (1.25 inch) black flathead screws (4-40).
These screws are the countersink type and do not work well with my
fiberglass instrument panel. They have a small head.


I'm looking for a source for machine screws, 4-40 x 1.25", in a black
non-metallic material. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Part 2 of this game is guess what a TR-21 is and guess which country
you are in.

You mean a Trig TT-21 transponder?

In the USA lots of places sell different instrument panel screws.
Often available in brass or aluminum with a black coating. Aircraft
Spruce, I think Cumulus Soaring and I assume many others. You might
have a problem with 4-40 but look at those places.

Darryl,

Indeed, my error. I am installing a Trig TT-21. Another error is that
the machine screw is 1.5" long instead of the slightly shorter version
posted. The 4-40 in 1.5 iches, panhead and black, is a problem.
