When trying to fit the cylinder cleading the screws start in the thread and that's about all. Are the 8BA screws the right thread? Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Geoff

I had a similar problem to start with,but I solved it by clearing the threads with an 8BA tap.

Be careful though because I found that a couple of the holes were shorter than the screws.

Hope this helps,
