as far as machine screws, i dont know your specs, but bridechamber.com sells black machine screws (they are for mounting motm-format panels).

Hi Al,

The finish you want is called 'Black Japan', it's a hard finish that
doesn't come off when you use your screwdriver.

I bought some 'cheapies' to start with, for my Dotcom, and ended up
with shiny marks where the driver had been.

I got the Black Japan from Suffolk Fasteners ('cos they're local).

Don't know where you are, probably loads of other places do them but
you need to get the right finish.

Take care,

Clive.
