    American Integrated Supply they sell a lot of breass screws, and inexpensive. They told me to ignore the Ebay generated shipping costs and contact ten direct each time.

    I had a need for a "00" screw, and couldn't find one. These are very tiny screws. While the need went away, someone suggested a place where they repair eye-glasses would have tiny screws.

    If you have an Ace Hardware nearby, they have sizes down to "0".

    Ebay for me. A tiny bag is a few dollars and a lifetime supply for tinkering.

    McMaster-Carr Supply carries machine screws and nuts at #0-80, #00-90 and #000-120, if you want tiny.

    If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.

    The only problem with McMaster-Carr is they won't export.

    Not a problem.

    Have one of your American friends order what you want, then ship it to you after they receive it.
    Nothing says the order must ship directly to you from McMaster.

    That's what I usually do when ebay or forum sellers won't ship abroad, the issue with McMaster-Carr is they made their website difficult to browse from abroad. However I'll try again as the site seems OK from here at then moment.

    I did contact them maybe 18 months ago and it's not that the don't want to sell abroad, they indicated they were subject to export restrictions and it was too time consuming and costly to get the clearance to deal with new customers.
