dimensional letters and set screws

Geneva Olson

Trying to find a standard size set screw (studs.) to put in the back of these letters to mount them on the wall. We are thinking of going with 1/4 screws (20 threaded) 2inchs long.
The acrylic is 1/2" acrylic.
Any advice?
Thanks!

we just buy aluminum allthread in 10-24 & 1/4-20 from mcmaster-carr/grainger/fastenal, and cut down to size as we need.

I hate doing this, especially for plastic letters where you have to fix the threads. Figuring in labor to cut and clean them has led me to stocking a bag of 2", 4", 6", plus all the loosies from gemini installs.
