You would not get them in the UK at all easily. Hardware shops over here stock the stnadard metric nuts and bolts and if you;re lucky, BA ones too. Actually, yes.. I was amaazed that Maplin (a common high-street electronics shop over here) sold 4-40 and 6-32 scrws as part of their PC assembnly accessories. Alas only in one length (about 1/4" long), but still worth adding to my hardware stock. Incidnetnally, I have no idea if a 5-40 UNC scrww would fit this telephone, but a 4-40 sort-of does. It will screw in badly and hold. But I know it's wrong, so I am not going to do that. I am resigned ot making my own now... The last good tool shop in London went out of business last year. It didn't sell hardare (no bolts/screws/etc), just tools, but they had an amazign range of those. Oh well.... And there's nowhere in London that I know of where you can buy small quantities of metal (as in 30cm of brass rod or whatever). [By 'London' I do not mena the City of London. I mean Greater London. Or to be more precise, I mean any place I can get to on a London omnibus without [aying any extra fare.] Nobody makes thigns any more :-( -tony
