Hi,
Does anyone know off the top of their head what type of screws hold the case cover to the Amiga 2000 case chassis? I mean, length, thread count expecially, size #, that sort of thing?
I don't think any of the cases I have carry the original or correct sizes. I'd like to purchase some replacements.
I can always see if I can measure the closest one but thought someone might know this here.

If my memory is correct, they are M4 thread about 10mm long.

Thanks a bunch. I'll look into that.

Case screws (also used for the drive tray):
M4 7 x 6 phillips pan-head sem screw
Motherboard screws:
M3 5 x 6 phillips pan-head
The screws for the slot covers are a very odd size (not metric: 6-40 x 3/16"). I was not able to find exact originals (which are sem screws), but you can find them without the washer from an amazon seller here.

How many case screws do you need? I have a bag full of new ones and would be happy to send you some.

Hi Damion,
Thanks for the detailed information. I need 15 of the case screws. I'd be more than happy to buy some from you if you wish to part from them.
Send me a PM if you are interested.
