Is it legal to use green gounding screw for other uses like panel deadfront cover or the like that need a 10-32 screw type?

who knows what an inspector might think.
Here is a factory cover screw for a Cutler-Hammer 3R panel I installed last year.
Not very impressive.

Can I use sheet metal screws to put a panel cover on?There was a great thread/poll about what to use for panel covers. I think it was started by iwire, but I can not find it through his profile, nor the search tool, nor Google.
Yes, if you provide another bonding path for the bonding of the cover.

I am not convinced that 250.8 applies to a panel cover / cabinet attachment.
IMO there is no 'bonding jumper' at a panel cover / cabinet connection.
It clearly does not cover the cover...just agitating a bit. I don't think the NEC really covers the bonding of the cover. That should be in the product standars.I am not convinced that 250.8 applies to a panel cover / cabinet attachment.
