Enclosure screws.

Is there any where I can get 4 replacement screws for an enclosure?
I've tried maplins and they told me to try an iron monger.

They are for my Bluebeard which is currently without screws for the base

Cheers

You had a look on eBay?

You could always buy the cheapest enclosure that Maplins sell, chuck the box away and keep the screws. All Hammond boxes probably use the same type.

I'm also planning ordering a large enclosure soon to build a Beavis Board style unit for prototyping circuits. I'd have the enclosure upside down with everything inside, using it like a bowl, and chuck away the base and screws, so you can have em for postage costs. But I'm still figuring out a big parts list I'd need to build a range of fuzzes so I might be a while before I place an order!

There's gotta be sooooooomeone in the UK that has extra screws.

If all else fails, you can PP me a couple of bucks and I'll send you 4 over!

Temp fix - take 2 screws from another pedal and just have 2 fixed diagonally. Will do the job until you get some more!

I rehoused this for Dan, and the enclosure doesn't take Hammond/Eddystone or NSC screws. I have no idea what it does take.

I'd just weld that ***** on

I tried screws from my TF pedals and they just weren't wide enough.

I think the ones off that GGG muff may be the right size

I may have to visit my technology dept. at school and see if they can help me out. If there are no screws then I'm sure they have a welder kicking about.

Did you buy this of Grygrx originally? If so I would have kept it in the blue enclosure it came in!

I would think any DIY store would carry screws. You need to know whether the holes are threaded (for a "bolt") or unthreaded (for a self tapping sheet metal screw). No big deal. It'll cost a few pence at most.

Yeah I got it off of grygrx, long story but it ends with Toasted kindly rehousing it back in to the original enclosure.
