Furutech XLR socket FT-785M

[RhythMick]

Came to mount these sockets on my prototype chassis tonight.

FT-785M(R) | FURUTECH

They feel like the quality socket I expected - however the 2 mounting holes are threaded, but no bolts are provided and the datasheet shows all dimensions but no info about what thread they are. Anyone know ? Perhaps M2 but I'd be guessing.

Astonished actually that a high-end product like this didn't come supplied with the correct bolts and nuts. Have mailed Furutech to ask for the data, expressing my surprise along the way.

Is it me ? Surely not too much to ask.

Scratch that they're M3, so at least standard and I have plenty to hand. They looked smaller.

Perhaps an overreaction on my part as the requirements will vary by situation. I humbly withdraw my grumbling.

It looks as though these are designed to be rear mounted, so threaded holes will make assembly easy.

They appear to be a well designed connector, hopefully they fit a standard Neutrik 'D' size hole (24mm diameter) - but I imagine they cost many times more than wonderful Neutrik designs!
