I don't see the option for pop rivet.

Re: rotor center screws [poll/debate]
I believe pop rivet is necessary for a true New Orleans horn. That and a minimum of five yards of duct tape, but ideally nine yards. You know a horn has reached its pinnacle when it has the whole nine yards of duct tape. A lot of people don't know it, but that is where the phrase "the whole nine yards" originated. Really, it is.

I had read that it came from the ammunition belts of fighter planes in WWII. There was about nine yards of ammo, and if you came home with it all spent, you gave the enemy "the whole nine yards."SplatterTone wrote:I believe pop rivet is necessary for a true New Orleans horn.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

I replaced all of mine with pan head sheet metal screws.
You don't have an option for that.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

November 1950 to the summer of 1953, the Peoples Volunteer Army did a fair amount of shooting in the Korean War, vs the US and other UN forces.bloke wrote:or the Chinese (who, unlike the Japanese, have yet to - at least directly - fire a shot at any Americans).

I think the 2.5mm option is correct. But... my 'weapon of choice' is the #5-40 if all else fails.
