I am trying to find the tap size for the A1342 m4.3 Case Cover screws

Question

I seem to be having a hard time finding out what the thread size is for the 922-9903 screws used in the A1342 Macbook. I know it list's them as 4.3mm but I would like a bottoming tap to chase the back threads. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks too all for your input. BP

Sounds as though you need to contact an actual service technician or other person with technical knowledge of the product; so maybe someone with that background may be able to get back to you on this...
Or you could try email or phone to a company that does that for a living to see how good their customer service and public relations are. Short of the call center at Apple Support, where you may get an answer, or not. http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
I'd check a smaller venue and ask if someone there can help.
From Alaska, I've called a few and emailed others on occasion.
A few are superior, some are good, a few never replied at all.
{So you'd get an idea, where I'd consider doing business later.}
If no one replies here, instead you could try the above concept to see if a trades specialist at a business that does this for a living can give you an answer. Here's a place I've talked to http://wegenermedia.com/
There is this little place in South Carolina that does fix things, and may be looking into a processor overheat sensor issue in my early macbook 13" 1.83GHz coreduo, & also replace a switch or cable to a flickering backlit display. I figure the thermo-couple to heatsink needs a cleanup and arctic paste applied, while its there for the display issue.
Hopefully this helps, since these kind of questions seldom get a rise here.
A bit too technical, if you don't catch the right person who may be visiting.
And I've had to repair mechanical film cameras with tiny tap/die sets before.
But not in the 200+ Macs I've owned, repaired, upgraded, donated. Yet.
Good luck & happy computing!
