Quick question:
I'm mounting the input transformer.
I have 4 number 8 star nuts with no apparent home.
Do I remove the regular nuts that are on the transformer screws and replace them with the star nuts to mount to the chassis?

When you say input transformer are you referring to the power transformer (PT)?

I believe it mounts with #10 hardware but it may be #8. There is bolts already on the transformer so you should be able to just thread the nuts right on.

You can either leave the existing nuts on and there will be a small gap between the chassis and transformer (perfectly fine and normal, most often done this way) or you can remove the nuts and mount the transformer flush. Either way you do it your going to be used lock/tooth nuts for the inside of the chassis.

If you do take the transformer nuts off be careful as you can pull the transformers end bells off.

So I went and mowed the lawn and came back to a reply. This forum is great!
Yes I meant power transformer. In the pictures the tranny is mounted flush to the cabinet, So I was thinking that leaving the original nuts in place was not the solution.
Thanks!

I've done it both ways. Either is good!

Good luck with it!!
