|  battery relocate on the Rubicon
so I went to relocate my battery to the front of the rig, going length wise like the honchos but my screws aren't long enough. Im having a hard time finding M3 corse screws that are longer, what is everyone using for hardware to accomplish this. and anyone know a good place to get bulk corse screws in different head types thanks |

The 3 included flathead 3x30mm tapping screws should do the trick.

If you don't have any then 30mm is the appropriate length, but you can probably get away with chopping 5mm off of each of the spacers to lower the tray some and use 25mm. It would be a good idea to lower your CG. | |

yeah for sure would you happen to know where to get tapping screws online, my LHS doesn't carry those and I'd like to get a bunch anyway for other projects. |

unless you live in Canada, the smallest stuff i've found is M4 and in very limited lengths and no flat heads

It's not going to mess anything up trying to thread a machine screw in to it after a tapping screw has been in it already ?

It's plastic...fine thread screws will work just fine.more threads hold better anyway.
