[OM] Screwy question

As far as I know the T-20 connector didn't come with a mounting 
screw...
or maybe you're referring to the screw that came with your flash
bracket... whatever it might be.

Anyhow, here's my T-20 connector just stuck on with an ordinary 1/4-20
brass machine screw

Thanks Chuck,

I was reluctant to bother this august list with a rather trivial 
question, but I will model
the mounting of the T20 after your set-up.  The Stroboframe came with a 
cold show but it is terribly glommed on
on-- perhaps with locktite.  I don't want the Metz flash I was able to 
snipe (after keeping an eye out for a year or so) to take a tumble.  
The shoe that came with it is similar to the below but has a phillips 
screw with relatively shallow grooves, rendering it difficult to remove 
w/o stripping.  There are adjacent mount holes
so I may just  mount the T20 connector adjacent to it.

   The newer shoe design is clearly better.  Thanks for re-posting your 
homemade bracket gizmo.  Appreciated.
Regards to Dr. Flash.

Mike
