[C320-list] Installing Barometer/clock...

[Quentin Murphy]

Thanks CRA,

Just as well my clock and barometer are light as 3/8" will not provide a lot
of grip, when the boat is bouncing around.  I'll try that length, but have
someone on the other side feeling for any protruding pressure on the
surface, just in case.  I guess one could also use a machine screw with a
domed nut on the other side.  I know domed nuts are available in chrome, but
I doubt in stainless.

QM,

I used short screws to mount my Weems and Plath instruments to the aft side
of the teak veneered wall between the salon and the fwd berth. I don't know
how long they were but they didn't come thru. They were quite short,
probably 3/8". I can measure them if you want.
