Phase unit and Badaxe mobo - any way round this?

ok, semi update. thanks to the zalman bracket i now have modded the backplate properly (will leave the zalman on the back as its metal - just in case for pressure) and also have the same 4 holes in the head part.

problem now is that i have run out of screws

i need 4 long ones but stupidly forgot to buy these so am left with 1!

- have put other smaller screws in place to show the holes

the board is sprayed, have black blu-tac stuff for the caps already done. neoprene is partially applied. but i cant do anything without these damn screws!

am off to italy tomorrow so this will have to wait till i come back. am visiting my parents first so hopefully he will have some for me to bring back with me

on a side note, finally got another project underway

chrome steel is a BITCA to cut through tho

HEEEELP - need help finding specific screws/bolts

cant find these online, even with google at all.

like this basically

i need M3/3.5 sized ones but have to be 3 inches long (75mm). looked on google etc and no joy. best i've found is 40mm but thats just too short.

can anyone help? i need 4 of these and dont want to have to buy an entire mounting kit just for the screws

have tried a local store in liverpool (rapid hardware if you know it) but they have nothing close to this.

I might be able to get you some mate. Mine are about 4 inches long. is that long enough?

I'll ask my phase engineer.
