So i ordered some Jr screws for my MKS servos along with Jr rubber gourmounts and Jr eyelets , i think they make superb hardware for the servos.
What i found out is the Jr rubber gourmets do not fit into the MKS gourmet holes , the Jr's were to large in diameter and won't allow the eyelet to even go into the hole of the gourmount .
So i used the MKS rubber mounts even though they seem very soft and could allow the servo to move in the mounts under high force outputs .
Something these 599 servos could do very easily .
I measured the diameter of the screw with a calliper to get i diameter 2.36 mm.
This is the eyelets for the my MKS servos 2.48mm , you can see the factory hardware in the package .
The MKS screws for mounting are 2.51 mm, i was going to use these but found that the Jr servo screws had a much better phillps head and didn't slip out when i mounted the servo into the mounts. The MKS screw kept on slipping even with the Snap-On #1 phillps head tip i used , the Jr's have a tighter tolerance were the bit fits into the screw and are close to the same diameter .
These hex cap screws #3 , i was going to use them but found that had to large of diameter and dug into the eyelet for the rubber mounts .
I perfer the hex screw it's alot easier in assemblying and won't strip the head as easy .
I used some carbon fibre screw plates that are placed over the gourmets and I think will firm up the soft rubber gourmets
and help prevent any movement of the servo.
