Changeover regulator - no thread to mount
Have bought this Marshall Excelsior automatic changeover. Works perfect. One problem - mounting holes at the back have no thread.
I am past return window, a piece of wire and duct tape holds it so far. It "looks" like made for #8 screws. Old worn-out #8 falls right in, new #8 won't go at all - so this must be it. So... buy #8-32 tap and just do it?
Btw, what is the difference of this Marshall from slightly higher priced Marshall Excela-Flo 253P and 253LP? https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=changeover%20regulator%20megr%20253
Also... See that black plastic cap - it says "do not remove". The cap is sitting there pretty loose, I'm thinking to put a drop of some goo under, before I lose it.
