These things are tiny any usually sold in packs of at least 20 for about £1.50. You’ll actually use very few of these, perhaps 4 making an effective price of around 40p each.

These must be a small round head as some designs include cavities for the head. You could use a non phillips head fitting but it isn’t recommended as the screws are just a bit harder to handle.
Used to provide a more interesting bolt head for external parts. This is a rather long and currently nt commonly used screw. The P40B uses two of them in the quadrant.

So far these is only a need for two of these and you can order two via the link above for 75p each. You might as well buy a few more for little extra cost in case we use them again. As a compromise on indicative price I’ve suggested 50p each.
£0.50
Allen key head looks good too. Stainless steel or black is nicer but costs more.
Used to provide a more interesting bolt head for external parts. A rarely used length – currently just the P40B trim wheels use this.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252499953593
These are quite a rarely used size which makes the unit price effectively more than the other lengths of this machine screw. You could just buy a pack of two as that is all that is used so far in AuthentiKit controls, which would make these about 75p each. As there may be occasional further uses an indicative price of 35p has been chosen.

These must be a small round head as some designs include cavities for the head. You could use a non phillips head fitting but it isn’t recommended as the screws are just a bit harder to handle.
Use either zinc plated or stainless steel. Get philips head if you can as the PH2 but fits them very nicely, otherwise pozidrive will do. These tend to only get used with Roten6003 units where for stability you need the screw to go all the way through the base with some clearance.

These are not a common length with AuthentiKit designs and as you tend to have to buy packs of at least 10 the unit price is effectively higher than other lengths.
£0.25
Pozidrive is an option if you can’t get phillips head.
These sorts of screws often come in PC repair kits. Black is far preferable to silver coloured but fortunately these screws usually come in black.

These things are tiny any usually sold in packs of 50, 100 or even 500. Unfortunately we don’t use these much in AuthentiKit controls and you will probably only use 2, maybe 4. You may be able to get a pack for as little as £2 putting the unit price at £0.50. With a bit of luck though you’ll have some lying around.
£0.50
You can get away with as little as 5mm in length and 8mm at a push. You’d probably also get away with M2.3
One or our smallest screws these are used in the mClick component and other small items.

These things are tiny any usually sold in packs of at least 20. You’ll use perhaps 8 of these in a full cockpit.

These must be a small round head as some designs include cavities for the head. You could use a non phillips head fitting but it isn’t recommended as the screws are just a bit harder to handle.
Any colour but it needs to be button so the head fits into the cavity. A normal socket head would protrude. This bolt requires a 5mm allen key.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383695918363
You probably only need one of these, maybe 3 max eventually, so pack discounts don’t help much.

To fit an M5 machine screw. Black is best as they’re used in the rig setup.

A pack of 10 is about right making the unit price about 30p.
