I'd like to build a smaller version of this rail launch pad to go with my 1500mm long Makerbeam, to use with micro buttons on smaller rockets. Instead of attaching the rail to the launcher with rail buttons, I'd like to use screws - with screw heads sticking out slightly so that I can slide the rail in place at the field.
I'm not too familiar with... well, a lot of hardware stuff. I'd rather not carry the whole long rail into Lowe's, but I'm wondering what size or type of screws will slide easily into the rail. Does anybody know the answer to this? I found a few machine screw size charts through Google, but I think what I'm seeing is the diameter of the threaded part of the screw, not the screw head. I'd need both to fit - the threaded part through the slot, and the head in the T.
Thanks!
