Title: Metric screw assortment
Post by: mojo on December 01, 2021, 07:27:51 PM
I need some tiny csk. slotted head machine screws probably M 1.2 mm. diameter but not exactly certain so am looking for an assortment of sizes around that diameter and in a variety of lengths 4, 5, 6, and 10 mm.
Only a small quantity required.
Tried the bay but not able to find any suitable.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

You can find sets of very small screws for glasses repairs and that type of thing. Sometimes find them on the "tool trader" stand at exhibitions, though the set I bought came from ebay IIRC.

@Simon D. (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=4485)  btw you've wrapped your ebay link as an email  "mailto" not a url link, it doesn't work as-is?

Un-emailed link:

I've used that seller several times when buying bolts for various aspects of the layout build. You sometimes have to search around a bit within their shop to find what you need.
