I need some longer than usual 3.5 x 0.8 mm screws or studding + nuts to
repair a PC heat sink fixing. Any suggestions for suppliers? Not the
electrical socket size which is 3.5 x 0.6 mm.

How long is 'usual'? And are you sure they're actually metric? I'd an idea
the coarse thread screws used for disc drives etc were an ISO type.

Thanks, well spotted. But the longest I have found so far is 3/4 inch (from
modelfixings) and I think I need a fraction over that (or studding plus
nuts). J A Crew does 7/16 stainless cap screws but their web site is down.
