Supplier of fixings?

[G0AOZ]

Many rack mount cases provide a tray for fitting a slim-line CD-ROM drive (like the ones fitted in laptops). However, none of the cases seem to provide the necessary fixing bolts, and they aren't included when the drive is supplied either. These are tiny bolts, which I'd liken to those possibly to be found in a watchmaker's toolkit, seem to be very difficult to obtain. Anyone know where I can get hold of these very small bolts in the U.K. please?

A suggestion:
Contact the vendor of the drive you wish to affix and determine the spec's (thread & dimensions) of the bolt, then perform a google search for nuts and bolts, refine the search to vendors in your area.

Might try looking at

http://www.mini-itx.com

which is a UK site and looking for links or information.
