Where to buy machine screws?

The problem you will find is the black oxide part. When looking for screws for the MWM bins I could only find the black in certain sizes, I don't know why. I ended up using regular screws and spray painting them with black appliance paint, it is in a can like regular paint but is pretty tough when dry.

You could probably find them on the internet somewhere ?

I was surprised to find that Amazon sells screws, bolts, and other hardware. Sometimes you have to buy huge packages (like black oxide 10-24 screws), but mostly things are available in reasonable quantities. Nice if you're looking for something odd, not available at the HD ( like M-2.5 stainless bolts). Grainger is another possibility.

Pan head? Boring!!! Get yourself some sweet socket head cap screws, or if you want to be extra-fancy, get some mil spec 12 point aircraft screws. They'll run you a few bucks a piece but they will look bad-assed fo sho. For the icing on the cake you can get the heads cross drilled and then have a mechanic safety wire them in place for you so the vibrations don't back them out! [;)]

Give it a look sort of like the circular bolt pattern on this rig. IMG_1627.jpg
