    I need some longer screws (about 30-35mm) to fix fans to my thermochill rad because the ones that come with it arn't long enough, and I think it's about time to replace the cable ties with something more suitable :worried:

    But I don't know what thread size or whatever I need, I just know what length (and need to be self tapping, right?), so does anyone know what size screws they take or can someone tell me how to find out.

    Thanks :dremel:

    Ok, I think they're a No.6 (M3.5 ?) and need to be 30mm long, I've found a couple so they do exist, but I need another 10.

    I've looked in maplin, RS, Farnell and B&Q but the longest any of them do is 25.4mm :( Anywhere else I could try?
