Hi,I'm after a supplier of micro Hex-head bolts between M0.5 and M1 (or imperial equivalents), preferably in the UK. In reality they don't even need to be threaded, as they're going into pre-drilled holes. Any ideas?

Brilliant thanks - I think you've just bankrupted me!

Try Grandt Line or Meng injection plastic ones. The GL ones come on sprues with fine tails for inserting into drilled holes. I'm sure they can be drilled out if you're careful or protruding thread sanded off. The Meng ones come on flat plates and need to be sliced off, which can be problematic for consistent thickness. Meng ones are available from any Meng stockist. I used to get my GL from SB models in Cumbria, but he seems to have closed. Historex Agents carry them, along with a plethora or rivets and bolts from Masterclub.
