All:
Thanks for all the help! Now sorted. You can read all about it at
.
Bottom line:
One of my three ID-1 radios has a bad (or modified by previous owner)
bolt thread. An M4 0.7 thread machine screw will only engage 2-3
threads at most on that radio.
The other two ID-1 radios have M4 0.7 threads.
The Icom MB28H bracket is the same one I had with one of the three
radios. Fortunately I already HAD a couple of these brackets, which
are now allocated for the other two ID-1s.
Thanks for all the help:
* Al, thanks for the tip about Lowes - you're right - great selection
of small metric machine screws!
* Glenn - Thanks for the tip about the MB28H bracket - that was a
great tip because I have some (see the article).
* Tony - Thanks also for the tip about the MB28H bracket, and the
detailed info on the hardware - none of my documentation had that
detail.
Again, thanks all!

As I relate in this blog post - , I now own three used ID-1s. Two of the three did not come with brackets for mounting the radio. Can anyone provide a pointer to the P/N or name of the bracket for the ID-1 radio? I'm hoping that same bracket is used by another Icom radio that can be still be purchased as an accessory.
Also, can anyone tell me what the ideal machine screws are for attaching the bracket to the ID-1 radio?
I hope to get the ID-1s working in data mode attached to Raspberry Pis. I have no current "practical" use for them, I just thought it would be cool to get them on the air on the otherwise very quiet 1240-1300 MHz band here in Whatcom County, Washington.
