Panther metal suspension arms.. screws options?
I bought some Mato metal suspension arms for my Panther G a while ago. I was going to put them on last night, but the screws turned out to be unusable. They top part doesn't fit in the little recessed part so they only stick out about a half a thread length. The stock screws aren't much better. I did the 9 o'clock redrill for the springs and there's too much tension for these screws to even hold the stock plastic arms now. Has anyone else had this issue? any thoughts on replacement screws?

That sux, huh. I try to go searching at the local hardware store for unique and special fasteners that will only fit certain projects.
That or go online to the specialty fastener shops that offer them. Anyway... good luck!!
