Small Screws & Hardware - Web Source?

Can anyone recomend a source on the web for small generic parts for LF
cameras?

I've got one of the old grey Calumet 4X5's. It works fine; I like it.
But, two of the screws holding the lensboard clips gave up and broke of
old age. I've tried all of the sources I can think of in my community,
but can't find anything that has screws of the size I need. Any
suggestions?

I know this'll make many folks cringe, but I'm currently holding the
lensboards on with duct tape! It works OK, but still, it's
embarrassing. Help me out, 'K?

Not for LF cameras, nor any kind of cameras specifically, but Small Parts
sells just what their name suggests. (I recently got a bunch of steel balls
from them, which exactly fit the project I was working on.)

I really doubt if this would make many folks here cringe. More likely
sympathy. Been there, done that. (Now if you degenerate to chewing gum, that's
another story.)
