Anyone know where to get m1.4, m1.6, m1.7 screws in varying lengths and styles? I'll settle for cheesehead or flat/countersounk screws in brass or steel, plain or black.

I have so many cameras with missing parts.

thanks in advance - your answers will save cameras

McMaster-Carr has hardware down to m1.6

Small Parts only seems to go down to m2

We use MetricScrew-toolco a lot at work- they have a really good assortment and a really bad web site.

The 1.4 and 1.7 sizes will be really hard to find, it may be easier to find a die and cut your own.

Hope this helps some.

NorthWest Short Line, which makes supplies for model railroading, has them down to 1.0 mm diameter. Look at http://www.nwsl.com/Catalog/pg105-cat8-01-v0806.pdf

You guys might laugh but the old Sony WalkMen and things like that were full of those tiny screws.
