I pulled my brand new 12-AN5812 Falcon Heated Pitot tube out of the box today and noticed that it has four screw holes (-4?), but no screws. There's nothing special about this pitot... I think I bought it at ACS several years ago. Has anyone else had this issue and if so where did you find screws?

Jay,



I've got a set you can borrow if if's time critical. You can track down a set and get them back to me.

We just went through tracking those down.  They're a little odd, 6-40 thread pitch.  We bought a whole box to get 4, send me your address and I'll send you some.

Thanks to both Bob and Dave! I'll send you my mailing address offline, Dave. Hope I can return the favor someday...



Cheers,

Jay



P.S. Here's the email I received back from Warren Gretz when I asked if he knew which screws others have used with his mount...



Hello Jay,

My Pitot tube mount does not come with those little screws you mentioned because the screws depend on what Pitot is to be used and normally the screws are supplied by the Mfg. of the Pitot tube. The Dynon Heated Pitot is not even drilled and tapped for screws. A fairly normal screw that is used to hold the Pitot is a #6-40, however, if you use a Dynon Pitot I recommend drilling a tapping for a #6-32 screw. Just because it is much easier to find a 6-32 screw.



I hope this helps.
