Supplier of very small self tappers?

[Steve Jones]

Hi,

I've just fixed my lads MP3 player and lost the PCB mounting screws in
the process - I blame him, he blames me.

The holes in the plastic body they fit will just take a 0.8mm
drill and are about 2mm deep.

I'm not sure what size screw that equates to.

Does any one know where I can get info on such small things and better
still where you can buy some?

Thanks, Steve.

Try the local poundshops - they usually do a 'spectacle repair kit'
with a a little screwdriver and a few screws in.

The screws always look much bigger than those in my spects but might
just be what you're looking for. It would be worth a pound to find
out!

Cheapest is to go to Poundland and buy something that's screwed together
and nick the screws from it.

Probably because you only see the ones in your glasses, without your
glasses on ;-)

Model shop. Ask for servo mounting screws.

Screws for plastic fixing tend to have a different thread to self tappers.
