[Spridgets] Windshield Screws

[Rick Fisk]

Hi Mike,

According to the Sprite Concourse Guidelines the windshield stanchion screws are Phillips countersunk 5/16-24 machine screws, which are number 20 screws.  Number 20 Phillips screws require a No. 4 bit.

I need to change the rubber seal under the foot of the stanchion.  It's all rotted and cracked.  I had a Phillips socket driver from Snap-On that fit the large screws perfectly, but I can not find it.  I bought a #4 bit made by some offshore company called Dynamic on Amazon, but it just looks too small.  While it does fit the screw, the four blades are very narrow.  Last thing I want to do is strip out an original screw of this size.
