Since you don't say where you're from, would a UK source be of any use?

Any source will do - provided they will ship overseas - website would be the most convenient I guess - preferably with photos?
Might be hoping for a bit much there.....

Screwfix?

Unlikely to have screws small enough. Screws Line looks more suitable.

You'd be surprised.  I've even found some small stainless steel screws at B and Q.

I could only find No.2 x 3/8 raised head screws in brass, from here Screwsline I then plated them. They were good to deal with and sold in small numbers at a reasonable cost.
I now see, however, looking at the web page the No. 2 screws are not listed but you could give them a call if you get desperate.
I still have not found the small screws for the Erica grill.

The link I gave earlier for Screws Line was for their nickel-plated screws, listed in sizes down to 0 (1 for raised-head nickel plated).

The link I gave earlier for Screws Line (snip)

    I think that we've been the subject of a "seagull" (also known as a "business counsultant") posting.  You know, one where the poster flies in, squawks loudly, sh!ts all over the place,  and then flies off with no benefit to anyone but himself.  This guy was even asked for at least a continental location to help people help him - which he studiously ignored.

    Why bother????

Thanks for all the replies thus far - I will certainly check out the website links suggested....

I'm not impressed with the suggestion re "seagull" post.....is BH suggesting that nobody benefits from the replies other than myself?

The replies on the forum are there for anybody to read so I doubt I can be viewed as the only beneficiary from the experience of others......

And smart aleck answers to my initial question to recommend a source for screws (BH responded "I can" without providing any details) don't really help anybody.....

Basically as far as I'm concerned my location isn't relevant to the question - particularly as I stated that any source would do once they ship internationally - I'm in Ireland in any case.....if the screws I'm looking for were available locally to me or even within Ireland for a reasonable price then I wouldn't have bothered to ask the question in the first place....

I'm interested in being able to buy quantities of screws as and when it suits me rather than having to go through third parties as I have had to do in the past....

Satisfied BH?
