?Maybe. Last time I stopped by my local Fastenal store, they informed me that they no longer sell retail, commercial accounts only! Bah, Humbug.

Also, check Fastenal. Their only downside is that one has to purchase a bag, but the cost works out to much less than $4 per fastener.

Does anyone have a commercial source for the metric 3.5mm dia, 12mm long countersunk posidrive head screws used on later HP covers? The ones with a groove for the retaining circlip.
I'm currently fixing up another instrument with a missing cover retaining screw. This happens quite frequently, so I'd like to buy say 100, and not get stuck on this problem again.
The HP part number mentioned by a label inside the cover for the metric screws is 0515-1245. Both google and Ebay come up with nothing.
Some of the non-metric ones ( 0570-1171 ) would be good to have too.
Google is pretty much useless for this sort of stuff; I'd go directly to
the Keysight part detail.
I've ordered the 0515-1245 from Keysight directly (see
). You'll need an
account on their parts store. FYI they're not cheap: like $4 each (when
I bought them), so 100 is going to cost you. Also, they're torx, not
pozidriv.
Unfortunately, the 0570-1171 appears to be obsolete. But, if you can
find another part number that might work. Or, you can reach out to
Keysight and they may be able to tell you a compatible replacement. If
you find that out, please report back! I'd be interested in that as
well.
The retaining rings are also orderable (eg 0510-0043), but typically you
can just reuse the retaining ring from the existing screw.
I also posted this information a few months ago here:
