Al I think you are right about getting descriptions and terminology right for this sort of stuff. I only wish astro gear manufacturers would somehow identify what are the specs of their fasteners. I have a lot of trouble identifying screw and bolt sizes Metric or imperial? TPI for something that is missing and as you say terminology - I had never heard of "cheesehead". I suppose in the end it may be a good idea just to tote the whole mount or piece of gear around to the local fastener place and try out something for fit.
