Hi thanks for the suggestions, but I am confused about the UK screw guages. some manufacturers list guage 4 as 3 mm which is too big for the doepfer holes and some list it as 2.9 which is fine... do any UK folks know if you bpought guage 4 or guage 3??

If anyone knows of a UK or German source for Doepfer compatible self tapping screws then please shout up they are: 2.9 mm or 2.5 mm pan head pozidrive self tapping screws (6.5mm 0r 9.5mm in length), they are also known as guage 3. all the UK shops and componant suppliers I tried now stock nothing below guage4 which is 3mm and too big for the a100 holes. Several places have told me that the guage 3 are no longer manufactured - which seems unbelievable.... but it appears to be true Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: <hardware@doepfer.de <mailto:hardware%40doepfer.de> > To: <Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Doepfer_a100%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 7:39 PM Subject: AW: [Doepfer_a100] self tapping screws Richard, 2.9 mm is a standard diameter for self tapping screws and these will fit to the 3 mm mounting holes of the A-100 panels (standard sizes are e.g. 2.9 x 6.5 mm, 9.5 x 9.5 mm and 2.9 x 13 mm). It should be no problem to get these screws in a hardware store or in a specialized screw shop.
