Sources for Pozidriv fasteners

[Aussie Bill B]

I am interested in any recommendations for businesses who can supply a range of fasteners used on minis - mostly smaller round-headed self-tapper and machine screws with Pozidriv in particular.

Minis made in Australia used a range of Posidriv fasteners, because, I guess, they were also used in UK assembly. But Pozidriv has become rare, even from 'classic' fastener suppliers - usually equated with Phillips now.

In the past I have mostly bought my fasteners from MiniSpares. However, they seem to be limiting the range they offer, for understandable reasons. But hopefully other suppliers can deal with the smaller volumes.

Or are Pozidriv disappearing from the Uk too?

I can't claim to know if pozidrive is declining here, but I do find Somerford good for identifying correct screws, or at least understanding when they are a substitute. Just as an example, here's their facia page:

Thanks for your reply, Andy.
Coincidentally I was just using Somerford's website to get a part number for the screws used to attach the fibreboard to the inside of the Cooper S bootlid - using the cup washers. They were the only place listing a part number which seems to be a Phillips screw - or that is all that is now available.
