6.2 – Installing the Cover Retention Screws & Threading the Panel Holes
The 1/2” screws are used to retain the Acrylic side panels that we'll be installing toward the end
of the build. Let's get those installed first.
Each of the three vertical supports should
have one 1/2” flat head screw installed in each end
as shown on the left. You don't want to install the
screw all the way – just drive it enough so that the
bottom face of the screw is flush with the opposite
face of the vertical support as shown below.
Now I need you to locate the #10-32, 5/8” Socket Head Cap Screw. We're going to use this to
cut threads into the vertical support plates. These threaded holes will be used later with nylon
thumbscrews to hold cover plates in place. You'll need a 5/32” Allen wrench to drive the screw in.
