Hello - I'm now preparing to install some mounting brackets that I've
made for the bottom of the spill box on 1407 and it's going to
necessitate drilling through the bottom of the spillbox to attach the
brackets. I'm using some #10 machine screws, and I'm wondering if the
head of the screw can/will cause any magnetizing problems inside of the
spill box when tape is running through there. I've noticed that the
side mounting bolts were recessed with a forstner bit so they actually
sit below the surface of the wood. If the bolt head will cause
problems, would it be okay to simply line the bottom of the box with
felt or some other material? It doesn't look like the bottom of the box
is all that thick, so I'm a bit hesitant to attempt to make recesses for
the bolts.

thanks,
john
