Looking for a UK source of 1.7mm or 8BA screws.

[David Chapman]

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a UK supplier that sells small cheesehead and
countersunk screws, together with lock-washers and nuts, with either
1.7mm or 8BA thread?

None of our usual distributors (Farnell, R.S., Rapid or Maplin) seem
to stock anything smaller than 2mm. I'm probably after around 100 or so
pieces of each (6mm-12mm long screws), preferably in either
nickel-plated steel or brass.

TIA - Dave

For brass you are probably best looking at model railway sources e.g:-

Forgot to suggest also asking in uk.rec.model.engineering (very friendly bunch).
