Screws and Spacers

[bcnaz]

Hmm....
Personally I would prefer to just open the case, I will probably go inside several times while setting it up and making a few changes,
But, Once I get it personalized to a point, I probably will not re-open it after that except maybe a battery change..... eventually, and a
little door would not be useful at that point. or maybe a motherboard upgrade in a few years, but again,
** the little door would not be big enough for that ether.
Though the challenge of building the 'door' could be 'Fun' in itself.

Could someone please provide the specs for the screws and spacers?  I'm assuming that the screws are soome kind of standard size,  and that I can find replacements for the spacers if I know their dimensions.  I have removed the back cover at least a dozen times and have already lost two screws and have broken spacers . (One was broken when I received the notebook) If I knew what the specs were,  I am sure I could buy them online here (U.S.). 

Perhaps, in future devices, slightly larger screws could be used.

  Also,  would it be possible to buy another bottom cover?  I would love to try putting a hinged port over the areas with the switches (emmc, serial, reset button, emmc socket) so that I wouldn't have to deal with the ten tiny screws.... :-)

*Bump*

Buying replacement screws from the Pine64 store is great, but through no fault of theirs (I know it's a small volunteer operation) orders to the store can often take weeks to get serviced, and then yet more time to ship.

I placed an order on the 29th and it's just shipping today.

This is NOT a whine about the store, but a suggestion that for things which should be able to be purchased in a standard way as a community service it would be great to have the specifications available so we can get them more quickly.
