I am attaching 1 1/4 inch aluminum t-track (12 foot section) to forward edge of mast for a whisker pole car. Screws specified are 5/16 inch flat head. I will drill/tap the holes and use tefgel. Does anyone have a guess as to length of screw needed? I don't want them protruding too far into mast for fear of interfering with internal halyards. Boat is Beneteau 440. Thanks, John.
