My response was subjective, because I've only tried working with the #6-40 ⅜".Might hold firm? How is the screw connecting to the chassis going to change holding ability if the bumper is in place? It’s the same connection either way.
Thank you again.Yes. The head is too close to the size of the perforations in the Temple Audio board to trust. I’d prefer a bit wider washers but these should work.
With the Temple Audio boards, I suspect it’s not even necessary to buy different screws if the bumpers are removed. Without the bumpers the factory screws should reach through the board and into the chassis with enough extra length to accommodate a regular thickness washer. I didn’t try that, it’s something I thought about after the fact.
The ⅜" screws will allow for this (not using the rubber feet). My concern stems from wondering if the #6-40 ⅞" screws can reach into the FM9 screw wells with the rubber feet kept on the FM9. If the rubber feet's "thickness" is less than ½" and the screw wells are not deeply recessed, the ⅞" will work.
My hope was that you've already verified this, and from viewing your images above, it seems that you have verified.
