I need to get hold of a small number of stainless steel countersunk M4 x 12mm (or 15mm) security screws - the sort that has an odd hole in the top to discourage dodgy characters dismantling something.

Anyone got any ideas?

RS?

Forget it - I've just looked on ebay (should have done before posting!) and there's loads there...

Thanks anyway!

LOl David you should always check ebay before here.

That's the sort of thing. I looked at that price (over £10 once P&P and VAT is added) then realised that was for 100. The ebay merchants are selling them for around £5 for 10! Not a bad profit...

Rogues...

trouble is - I only need 2, 3 or at the most 4.

Update:

Ordered some on ebay - £1.20 for 4, plus postage. Let me see - that's £120 per hundred - not a bad profit margin if he buys wholesale...

If you're wondering, I've thought up a way of fastening my tax disc holder to the windscreen upright. Trouble is, the fastening screws will be visible so I wanted some that couldn't be undone easily.

Tax disks aren't worth pinching now with computer checks showing whether they are valid or not.

Doesn't stop the scrotes having a try though...

People will knick anything, even if its of no value to them. Don't some countries make you get new plates every year for this reason?
I often wonder how long it'll be till they discontinue them, or at least not make it mandatory to display it.
