Where's the best place to buy "exact" replacement screws for Robonova-1 in the USA?

HEY Humanoido, I get mine @ J & M Fasteners 181-B Mayhew Way Walnut Creek, CA 94597 Ph#800-727-8698 Fax#(925)932-8444. They may have to order them but the price will make it worth the wait. I ordered the flathead phillips to install RN-!'s neck servo without spreading the shoulder servos for the round headed screws clearances. I also had to countersink the brackets for them to fit flush. I did the neck servo top screws too so the head 'hone' could turn without interference from the screwheads. hope this helps

I get mine @ J & M Fasteners
Funny, I get mine from L & E Fasteners. The closest they could get for me were M2x4 pan-head (fine-thread, non-tapered, stainless steel) - and boy are they pricey. Does J & M actually carry the M2x4T (tapered/tapping, zinc-coated)? Well, I guess I could call them huh.
Thanks for the resource, I'll check 'em out.

Guys, thanks very much for the sources and the tips. I appreciate this - my RN was loosing screws faster than I could find them. I felt sick when I heard one go up the vacuum cleaner. That was a real mess!
Now they get a very tiny dab of clear fingernail polish. However, you have to find a bottle with the right consistency - too thin and it runs all over, too thick and it globs. A girlfriend that uses lots of makeup is helpful.
Plus the screws started working their way out when I ran a lot of fast routines that vibrated the body, such as fast walking, custom templates and various new demos. In the future I'll be more selective about what's happening during the motions. Thanks again for the sources!
