I'm thinking of using black socket head screws for most of the panel.  

Stein's blank is setup for #8, the electronic instruments (autopilot, 

ADI) are setup for #6.  I'm thinking black socket heads will look good 

on a tan/brown panel.



What's a good source for black socket heads?  A/C Spruce doesn't seem to 

do those.  Any other thoughts?

Bill,    Regardless of what screws you pick, if you go for black oxide 

screws you will definetly want to paint them first.   Black oxide is not 

much of a rust inhibitor and you will have rusted panel screws after a 

couple of humidity cycles.

That's real good to know.  Sounds like the voice of experience. 



Thanks Bob.

I tried those cap screws and then had a change of heart and went to regular black oxide screws...  I do love the looks of black oxide against my tan panel..  The heads of those cap screws were too "tall" and I didn't care for that look that much after I saw it all mounted in the plane..  (easy to snag on..)



McMaster is a good place for this kind of hardware.. their selection is hard to beat.. 

good luck....
