First post - great forum, very informative and helpful. I recently purchased an MEP-803A and have been working on it, renewing insulation, pest-proofing, cleaning connections, repairing fuel tank leaks, replacing all rubber in fuel system, hundreds of SS screws, washers and nuts. Forum has been helpful for installation of VR upgrades and lots more. I have hit a dead end - I pulled off the rear upper cover panel and was not too happy about surface corrosion evident on some terminal screws.
I am looking for the terminal screws for the Kraus & Naimer switches such as S8. Apologies in advance if this has been covered, but I have reviewed the forum and the TM and have not been able to find an answer. The manufacturer website did not offer any tech data on older switches that I could find.
I believe I would prefer a corrosion resistant alloy if available and advisable, and have determined (I think) they are 4mm-0.7x8mm (steel) with a 10mm x 8 mm rectangular, curved captive washer that looks to be stainless. Short of pulling and cleaning the old steel screws, is there a better alternative?
Thanks & cheers
