The "Google consensus" seem to be 82 degrees for US threads, and 90 degree for metric screws. Signature now gets correct formatting if you edit it in your Profile.

And checking a random Tamiya screw, it indeed looks 90 degrees. Diameter isn't much of an issue I think, maybe just for a bit of precision, as it simply depends on how deep you drill. A long as it's bigger than the screw head. TamiyaWeb.com

Thought there was loads of room in a Grasshopper but yanked the wiring. On topic - I have a heat gun for that, lol. Edit - think the last batch I had was 65mm. Seems a bit better. Advice is welcome though! TamiyaWeb.com
