    Better screws for Hammond cases?

    Hi, I'm casing up my PPA in a Hammond enclosure 1455N1601 and see some of the builds use nice Stardrive/Allenhead type fittings to hold the end panels on. Can anyone tell what size they are, and also does the case have to be tapped, or will they cut there own thread in the aluminum? Thanks.

    Steps output voltage calculation Check. Tell me if I'm wrong

    I cant get a 2.0k resistor locally, nearest 1.8k & 2.2k. I want to get 24v out of my steps, so if my calculations are correct I'm better to use R3 100ohm R4 1.8kohm which should = 23.75volt With Vset adjustment I shoud be able to get my 24 Volt Please tell me if I'm wrong.
