Sorry to stray, but Philips screws suck equally as much as flathead. They both slip when needing to screw down hard. Robertson (aka Square head) are the best for torque. I use these both and having 4 deep sides as opposed to 2 or 4 angled sides makes a better grip. Glad I live where they have them at Home Depot

Yeah, the square head ones are definately good. At least with a Philips (or anything better than that) the driver stays centered in the fastener. I hate driving flatblade screws and having the driver just slide out of the screw.  It's amazing how many places/things still use flatblade screws... We have the square drive screws at Home Depot here too, but I don't know if they have anything but drywall-type in that style. I got the bracket cut, I just need to drill holes in it. Marty

Hey thanks a lot Marty, i appreciate u doin that for me. So dont really have any plans for this weekend?Maybe Sunday? Also for future reference, i believe there is a Grand Touring Racing thingy up at PIR on June the 5th and 6th? Sat. and Sun. I think if i can i would like to catch the one on sun. I went to HIN in Seattle and there was an SVT at the show that runs in the competition. He told me hed be at it, i think he posted here somewhere on the NW forum. Anyways i just thought id let some people know about it that live in OR.

Keep up the good work. I'll be glad to see how and where you put it. Weird tho, we typically use philips for drywall and robertson for everything else...

Yeah, Sunday afternoon would work. Anyone else wanna meet up then? Maybe 4:00? Earlier? Later?
That would be cool to go check out that Contour car racing at PIR. The driver did post on here a week or two ago.
Yeah, I don't recall seeing much other than drywall and regular wood screws being offered around here in square drive. Not machine screws, anyway. They may be here, but you'd probably have to go to a specialty hardware store to find them. Hmmm.
