Hi. I have a CooB Titanium scoop that comes with a 7/32 hole pre drilled in the handle port. I have a CKG carbon fiber handle on order that I believe comes with a pre drilled hole. Curious what size stainless bolt and nut I will need to secure the handle to the scoop?
 
7/32" is 1/32" bigger than 3/16", so a 3/16" machine screw will barely fit through the hole.

7/32" is also exactly the same diameter as a #12 machine screw, but a #10 machine screw is a very little bit smaller than 3/16", so it would work in a 7/32" hole.

7/32" is slightly bigger than a 5mm machine screw so it should work as well.

Whatever screw you go with a locking nut instead of a regular nut so it doesn't work it's way loose in use.

Thanks. A 7/32 drill bit easily passes through the hole but a 15/64 drill bit will not. Sounds like a Stainless 12-24 X 1.5 with a matching nylon locking nut is the ticket.
