Am busy restoring an old cockpit panel - looking for proper screws 1/8" x 1"
Is there any help where I can buy a small amount (20) of these screws? Martin

Try Wilko's (if you live oop t' North) You scoop how many you want into a bag and mix your sizes to suit. Not sure if they have them in brass, dome headed and slotted. Good for small nuts and bolts also.

Thanks Ossington! Try to get them from Germany... It's nearly impossible to get British screws in such a small dimension...

Tons of BA screws on ebay, they are used extensively for model engineering. I recommend EKP Supplies.
