Now that you've put the bug in my ear, I'm gonna order a bag of a hundred
each of the flatheads I use on the inspection plates and the pan
heads/flatheads that hold on the cowling. These two are the primary
offenders on The Manly HighWing 182. I'll be glad to order some for you if
you tell me the thread and the length. A point or B point? Stainless or
alloy? I don't go through the NAPA airplane store, but through an
industrial supply company that DOES have traceable parts.

Thanks, but I'm (hopefully) done with "screwing around" (sorry!) with
the access panels on my plane for another year. I'll look into it in
March '08, however.
