Does anyone know what size the screws for mounting the HB-25 to a bracket are? I thought they were 4/40 but that is the size of the wire mount screw.

    6-32s are the standard size for electrical cover plates, receptacles, and switches. :)

    When you mount these keep in mind that the mounting holes in are connected to the battery ground. Probably not an issue for most uses but if you aren't careful you can have un-intended ground loops. If bolted directly to a metal chassis/frame you will be making the whole frame ground where it otherwise may be electrically isolated.
