[time-nuts] Mounting hardware for HP/Symmetricom 58532A GPS antenna?

[Flemming Larsen]

The original screws are about 15.5 mm long and are threaded on the first 6 mm approx.
The shank is thinner the rest of the way, approx. 3mm, so you can undo those screws
and not loose them. I beleive they are called "captive screws". If your base is threaded
for M4, you may want to drill the holes out to 4 mm to eliminate the threads.

Just received my well used 58532A GPS antenna; the pipe mount arrived yesterday. 

I've looked at available documentation on the WWWeb and haven't found an answer -- 

what size hardware do you use for the antenna? 

I know that the answer is NOT 10-32! That's what's on the pipe mount, and those are too big. 

Is this thing metric? I don't have access to a lot of hardware right now to check. If it's possibly metric, I'm better off going to a different hardware store than if it's American sizes. 

Many thanks!
