Raspberry Pi and America,

I know the problem... That's a very expensive way to buy them. OFten 10 small nuts bought that way will cost more than a box of 1000.... I tend to buy my most-used hardware (M3, M4, etc) in such large boxes, I am going to use them... One thing I use the lathe for is making special threaded parts. I am not goign to start makign standard M3 nutes, but if I need a tapped spacer, or am odd-treaded bolt (M3 * 06.mm pitch, as I mentioend a while back) or somethign like that, I jsut turn it. Finding UNC and UNF parts over here, particularly the 'number' sizes is very difficult. You can sometimes find 4-40 and 6-32 sold for PC assmebling. Some model shops sell them, but at _ridiculous_ prices (like \pounds 2.50 for 4 nuts). I tend to buy them from Digikey. The postage is high, but at least I can get them I guess you haev similar problems finding BA nuts and bolts :-) -tony
