MOTM

Actually, I am planning to continue to use the longer ones.  I know I may
have to hollow out behind the flat rails just a bit (maybe 1/16") depending
on the thickness of the flay rails.  I have these nice black nylon washers
I am using under the screws.  So, I don't think 1/4" would be long enough. 
I wonder how they measure them.  Threads only?  Or, overall including the
head?  I measure Paul's at 3/8" of threads only.
Paul are yours considered 3/8" or 1/2" ??

Ken, I did visit this link you sent.  Cool link for hardware.   I searched
for 3/8" screws.  They were quoted even cheaper.  I just can't seem to
believe those prices.  $7.37 for 1000.  That's less than 1 cent each. 
Surely that can't be right.  Are you going to order some to see what they
are?
