Bint dob knurled head secondary screws?

Hi people - decided to roll my sleeves up, get out of the insanity of my RA/DEC thread for a mo and collimate my recently arrived Bint 10" dob. (Well heck, the viewing outside has been atrocious these last few nights and tho' it has maintained pretty good collimation since arriving I figured I had to get back into it sooner rather than later - haven't collimated anything for over 30 years!)

Went the whole hog and started fiddling with the secondary (which was really just about spot-on already) and when I finally had everything back at least as ok as when I started (for me that's pretty damn amazing!) I thought, why don't I get knurled heads for the 3 "screws" and centre "bolt" to facilitate matters and alleviate my almost manic phobia about dropping phillips' head drivers down the chute.

Anyone done this - I suppose I should just go to Sweetmans/Unimeyer or whatever they call themselves nowadays but thought I'd ask IIS forum members.

Regards, Kokatha man.
