I need to find a replacement screw for the cover for an Excel plastic consumer unit.
This is a nasty plastic 90-degree turn type, about 2 inches long.
Possibly similar to ones also used on BG plastic consumer units?

Anyone know of a source of these (apart from buying the cheapest CU that includes them, and throwing most of it away!)?

Buy a board, snatch the screws and take it back for a refund because the cover screws are missing:D chint, niglon, pro elec, mcg and a few others should all fit.
