[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about screw builds

Im thinking about doing a screw build but I have I have a few questions.

1. Where can I get the proper screws?

2. Can I remove the screws incase I decide I want to rivet it later?

3. If the screws come loose can I retiighten them? Or would I have to buy a new set because theyre "special" screws?

I'm no uber-expert, but....

1. any old 10/32 screws will do, but people sell pretty black button head screw sets on the EE frequently

2. yes.

3. yes, you can re-tighten, but you should use locktite on them to prevent loosening in the first place
