[QUOTE="douglasheld, post: 8717846, member: 681052"] I took the unit and a bracket into the hardware store with me. You need 6 self-tapping sheet metal screws. Since you will bind sheet metal to sheet metal, you will need pan head screws. I recommend Phillips head, but you can get something else you prefer if you have the correct driver for it. The specification for sheet metal screw sizes is [I][B]almost[/B][/I] how Sony specified it. See: [URL]https://resources.tannerbolt.com/articles/3-common-screw-types-at-a-glance-machine-sheet-metal-and-cap-screws/[/URL] section: [B]Sheet Metal Screws[/B]. [B]7/32[/B] - I think this is the sheet metal screw size diameter, in inches. Seeing: [URL]https://www.boltdepot.com/fastener-information/Sheet-Metal-Screws/Sheet-Metal-Screw-Diameter.aspx[/URL] ... I guess that is going to be a #12 sheet metal screw. [B]Max 5/16 in[/B] or [B]Max 8mm [/B]means maximum length of the threaded screw body (from the tip to under the pan head). If you screw something longer than this, the screw will smash the electronic components inside and, I guess, destroy the stereo. If the shortest screws you can find are too long, then you may be able to use some washers to reduce the effective depth. Or in my case, the guy at the hardware store ground off the tips for me.
