Try www.modelfixings.co.uk you need to get the high tensile steel ones as they should be grade 10.9 or 12.9 which is high tensile. Stay clear of stainless steel as they are too soft, A2 is equivalent to approx grade 4 and A4 same as 8.8.

I bought a load of different sizes from Kev at Inside Line. I think they are only stainless steel, but touch wood I have never had any problems with them.

Xray screw are really good quality but the price really shows, I'm not sure if they still do but they used to sell them in packs available from teamxray.co.uk.

I'm sure there are plenty of other good ones out there too, but generally speaking you will get what you pay for.

good luck

Can recommend model fixings....all screws about 2mm will be a bit bendy though, or they just snap!
