Rookie,
I wouldn't go with the screws....I use 6-32 hex head screws/blind nuts to mount mine....I think 8178 has a good idea with the nylon.. but I haven't tried that.

I’ve used the 4/40 nylon bolts for decades, they have worked great for me and they fit the standard Rom-Air and Spring Air retract gear mounting plate holes. On the other hand I’ve not had a hard landing in many decades so they have not been tested to the extreme. My original idea was to use them to keep the landing gear strut from bending on a hard landing by letting the nylon bolt heads to snap off.
