Mounting an Istar objective

[jack]

My 6" achro lens, to be used in a folded refractor, arrived today. Looking at the three sets of mounting holes in the objective cell, I realized that I have no idea what kind and size bolts/screws should be used. I will be mounting the lens on wood. Can anyone advise? My only ATM experience is with reflectors. Thanks.

Here are 2 build threads I have. I kinda skimmed them and didn't see what you're looking for but maybe you will.

The threads were actually quite helpful. They confirmed my assumption that you can mount the lens directly on wood, rather than having to employ the traditional push-pull system used in metal cells. Thanks.
