Hex stand offs

The base of my WOGTF81 has two screws labelled 2mm which I think I can replace with Hex stand offs so I can then put the Sharp Sky Pro on it.
But I am having difficulty finding some locally. The place I found on ebay was the US.
Anyone know anyone in Australia I can call or google?
Looking for maybe 50mm long or more 2mm HEx stand off posts x 2

Jaycar? Thats where I usually get my small screws. I bought a couple hundred 3mm recently.

I think I have some 2mm blackened cap bolts, but will have to look.

Jaycar/Altronics/RS Components/Element14 don't have M2 standoffs.
M3 yes, M2 no.
Element14's smallest is M2.5
Do you know anyone with a lathe? Super easy to machine.

Try Fasteners Australia or Coventry Fasteners or look under fasteners in your phone book.

hex stand offs

I emailed David at SharpSky Pro and he is sending me some!!RESULT!!
Excellent service from SharpSky Pro even though my unit was second hand!
He is also sending me another flexible coupler.

A public thanks to David at SharpSKy Pro for this.

I would call it first-and-a-half hand - I didn't even take it out of the box
