Skiffy are a really useful supplier for little plastic parts like PCB stand-offs and odd clips and screws etc.
Skiffy plastic parts, Skiffy metal parts, components

After a bit of Googling they do appear to be in the UK.

Skiffy is an Iffy kangaroo.

Just throwing in a curve ball.
Are they actually necessary?
Take a long hard look at the access, and the requirements...

Come on the netblindpaul, explain!

Briefly, Iwould say yes, they are at least a good idea, the three I looked at are not earthed in any way. If a live cable became wayward and touched the casing (yes, 10,000,000 to one) and then someone touched the screw (multiply by 60,000) they might get a shock.

thought it was that simple (albeit unlikely).
