Guys, I have had it with removing 9 the super soft helix mount screws.
I had bought several bags of these torx head screws as replacements and stripped out a couple more of them my last helix change.
So, I went to a fastener store and bought 20 of the Allen Head Machine screws of the same size. They should make removal of these screws much less of an issue and should last the life of the sled.
It cost me less than $10 for 20 of these machine head screws.
They are 10-24 x 1.25" screws. Which means they are 3/16" with 24 threads per inch and a 1 1/4" long.
Headaches over!
