Has anyone found a source of decent and cheap fasteners for the various undertaken trim on the mk3? I have seen packs of ten screws for £10, that sort of thing, but looking for a box of a 100 various sizes for that sort of money. I know I am Scottish, but £1 for a self tapper? Jings!
I have a few of the 8mm and 10mm head ones missing.
I may be a little thick but what are undertake screws?
I’m going to guess that undertake screws are auto-corrected underbody screws…
Have a look here

They do self tappers as well, just search for what you are interested in.
I know for a fact that this trim clip fits the wheel arch lines, undertray etc.

Whilst we didn’t have it listed initially as a mazda clip, i identified it as such and specifically added MX5 NC to the description.
And we now also sell trim clips in 10’s to save anyone having to buy a bag of 50 when all he might need is a few.
Yes UnderTRAY, I swear the autocorrect on this Samsung tablet means I cannot type a single sentence without having to recheck it. I have another thread somewhere that talks about Kong (Koni) suspension!
Thanks for the links, looks like a 100 pack of the hex head is what I am looking for. “Self Tapping Screws 8 x 3/4 Hex-head BZP”. BUT I am not sure on the size. Is 8, 8 mm head, M8 thread, 8 gauge ? Presume 3/4 is .75 inches long. Does anyone know what size I need - the 8mm hex with Philips centre screws that go across the front of the undertray and in other places. What gauge are they?
There is a combi pack “Assorted Acme Screws (hex head) (400)” at £25 which hopefully should cover the bases, but that contains about 395 more than I need, and is about £15 more than I was hoping to pay.
I found Swiftkey learns uncannily well in predicting what I’m going to write. It forced me to expand my vocab and subject range when on ski trips to prevent boring repetition on the texts and emails back home to SWMBO. (We all use it on assorted Samsung android devices.) If you tell it a new word three times it remembers and doesn’t pester you, unlike the arrogant and useless Samsung native autocorrect. Swiftkey also has lots of different keyboard themes as well, for style, or readability or whatever.
Unfortunately the firm that produced Swiftkey has been bought by M$ so I guess it will become less helpful as they dig their clammy paws into it. I know one of the original developers very well; after the M$ grab he left as soon as he could without penalty.

There is fastenings supplier in Hove called Namrick, who I have used for many years. Good enquiry service and website. Easily found via google
I ended up buying four packs of 10 of various sizes on ebay for about £2 a pack. Came from this guy:

Thanks all.
Note how his part number is the same as ours.
He’s one of our customers, so ultimately you bought one of our products.
That is good. Did feel shame going elsewhere.
We cater more for garages,workshops and resellers etc.
Folk who tend to purchase in larger quantities
So whilst we would be the cheaper option, larger quantities will undoubtedly make us more expensive.
And i’m the same, i’m loathed to buy 100 of something if all I require is 5.
I’m the opposite - if I only need 5, I’ll probably buy 100 “just in case”.
Hence why I have so much unused crap everywhere 
Try searching on “Orbital fasteners” web site. they have tons and tons of stuff. Try this
