Plastic bolts

Hi guys. I've made my own camera adapter that I can also use on my webcam fo eyepice projection. My problem is that the screws i used are steel and damage the camera. It's not an expensive camera but it's the wifes. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy plastic bolts about 1/8 inch by about 20-25 mm long. I found a few places but they only sell in batches of 500. I'll take 50 if I have to but 500 is a little too much. I only need about 10.

Regards Cristian

Christian, I suppose it won't matter how many there are if they are cheap. If the cost is only a few bucks you might be able to sell the rest in here to other people with a similar problem. But if it is a lot of money don't bother getting 500.

Hi Cristian

Roger at BATSC lists nylon screws on his website at http://www.batsc.com.au/ . I'm not sure if they are metric or imperial?

Cheers

Dennis
