SPECIFICATIONS
All dimensions are millimetres. Screw length is measured below the head. Use metric machine threads, preferably fully threaded. Standard pitches: M3 = 0.5 mm; M4 = 0.7 mm.

Metal screws: stainless A2 or ordinary uncoated steel. The three M4 x 25 drag screws must be nylon and have external hex heads.

Revised grip: use M3 x 6, socket head diameter 5.5 mm and height 3 mm. Its counterbore is 6.4 mm in diameter. It replaces the earlier M3 x 12 grip screw. The core totals are two M3 x 6 and ten M3 x 12.

Hand-rest button heads: M3 diameter 5.7 mm, height 1.65 mm; M4 diameter 7.5 mm, height 2.2 mm. Confirm actual supplied head sizes and washer thicknesses.

Quantities on page 1 are installed quantities for one hand rest. For purchase spares, allow ten extra 1.0 mm M3 washers: buy 28 of that thickness, plus two 0.5 mm and two 0.8 mm washers (32 M3 washers total).

Without a hand rest: use four M3 x 30 and no M3 x 35; omit the cradle screw pair, two M4 nuts and two M4 washers. Replace the two 0.8 mm M3 washers with two 1.0 mm washers.

Use plain nuts and flat washers where specified. Do not substitute countersunk or self-tapping screws, spring washers or locknuts at captive plain-nut locations.
