I'm having a hard time finding the right size screws for the heat sinks on the regulators. My local hardware stores do not have even remotely close to the right size and when I tried to eyeball it I was off. Are these metric size? It must be because I live in the boonies. :roll: Where do you guys get them from?

According to my screw box, the ones I used are:

4-40 Hex Nut
4-40 x 1/4 machine screw

Ok thats good to know. The PDF says 4-40x1/4 for the heatsink screws. I will pick up some of 6-32x1/4 and try those! Thanks!

I forgot to follow up on this. 6-32 is the right screw size. The hex nut I used was 6-32 as well. I couldn't find 1/4" length but the 3/8" was just fine.
