WTB: 4 long black screws that hold Turbo Express case together

[schweaty]

or any equivalent screws.  color doesnt matter.  they just need to do the job.  I live in Germany, so I cant exactly rundown to the True Value to get what I need and I had no luck at the local hardware store. 

If you have a donor TE with the screws, I would like to buy them from you.  I've also heard a TV Tuner has the same screws in it.

Background:  I bought a grubby broken TE off ebay.  I got it all cleaned up and working but it doesnt have the screws.  The lack of screws wasnt in the description or obvious in the pics.  I probably would've bought it anyway

Ouch but funny as hell:)

Schweaty, those screws are extremely hard to fine. Your best bet is to get a tv tuner, they use the same exact screws.

so i'm thinking of ordering this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOSB1524-Team-Losi-Screw-Set-E-Clip-Micro-T-B-DT-/251374710889?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a8719b069

total shot in the dark, and a bit pricey considering I only need 4 screws but i guess i'm desperate.  does anyone have any experience with these losi micro RC cars.  I know they are teensy.  I almost wonder if the screws will end up being too small.  any help is appreciated.

or, if some kind soul would consider going to a true value for me, i would also appreciate the help.  that was always my go-to place for nuts and bolts of all sizes

Tell me what they are (diameter, length, thread pitch, etc.) and I'll hit a True Value for ya.

I recall Chop having similar problems finding those screws as well. I don't think they're common, but I could be wrong.

Necro, you're a bro.  The measurements are: 7/8" long x 1/16" wide and the head is 1/8".  If you have one, I would pull a bolt from a TE or a GT and take it with you in a small baggy or something.  Please dont go out of your way to do this.  If there is a True Value on the way to work or school or whatever, great.  If there isnt, dont worry about it.  I will be fine.

DragonmasterDan,  thanks for the intel.  I will PM Chop.

thanks err'body

I don't know if he ever found replacements though I think he tried.

Schweaty, I recently received a lot with another tv tuner.  If you still haven't found the screws, I'll gladly pull them from this extra turner I have.

Turbokon,  you are a lifesaver once again.    I guess my only concern is:  what are you going to do with that tuner after you take out the screws?  If you dont want to take apart the tuner, I understand. Maybe I should buy the tuner from you, take the screws, then its my problem to replace those screws down the road.  I dont know.  I just dont want to leave you stuck with a tuner you cant do anything with because you took out the screws and gave them to me.

I have a tuner you can have, just pay actual shipping. I feel like turbokon may find a use for his later on

[turbokon]

I didn't mind shipping the extra turner but if you insist tiptop:)
