I need the nuts that hold on the plastics for my Williams Flash. What is the thread on those? I'm thinking getting stainless instead of the white plastic. I also need a couple of the screws that hold the boards in the back box. Where can I get these from? Thanks.
 
I always pull one and take it to the hardware store and they have little trays filled with all sorts of screws. But I finally broke down and picked up the big bag of everything from pinball life because I am tired of picking up 5 screws each time I visit. They already rag on my for my fuse purchases.

#6-32 and #8-32 seem to be very common.
 
Buy the nuts from Grainger, sold in boxes of 50, in any material or finish.

For the white nylon. They also carry nickel plated brass, most hardware stores have the stainless at about 50 cents each.
E-bay usually has the 6-32 stainless acorn nuts too, prices can vary a lot on these, shop around for the best deal.

The screws holding the boards to the backbox are also 6-32
Local hardware stores usually don't have that short of a length.
Smallparts carries 6-32 screws in 1/4" length..... though I tend to prefer the ones that I strip out of old computers with the hex/phillips heads that look like these....
