It is great that the TP kits comes with screws and standoffs. Unfortunately (at least for us in Europe) they are not in the metric standard (like M3) and it isdifficult to find matching screws/spacers (at least here in Italy). This problem always arise when I have finally decided to mount the boards in my favorite case type with a 3 mm aluminum bottom - the provided screws are to short! I have until now solved the problem buying screws and standoffs in metric standard, however I see this as a waist in both my and TP's ends (I have a big bag full of unused TP standoffs and screws).
Could some nice person indicate to me the what are the dimensions of screws that I should be looking for or maybe a link to a specific internet seller. I think the thread is what is termed "4-40" but if it is UNF, UNC or some other standard is black to me!
Sorry for the trivial question.
Cheers,
Nic
