Screws and Standoffs

My FC-4s and my newly arrived RC-4 all came with awesome standoffs and I want to get some for use with my Prop1 board.  Poking around, I think I have figured out that these are the proper specs. 

#4-40 x 1/4" Machine Screws (there seem to be a dozen or more variations based on driver size and head size)
#4-40 x 1/2" hexagonal aluminum Standoffs

Can someone confirm the specs and/or suggest a good source for ones like the ones that ship with the FCs and RCs?

Much Thanks
Scott

Jameco has them. I bought the variety pack they sell:

But am not too impressed, as there is not much useable in the bag. I would just go with these next time

If male/female doesn't work with you just enter standoff in their keyword search engine.

Scaring someone with a prop you built -- priceless!

You might try All Electronics http://www.allelectronics.com/.

I think they are a surplus outfit so you never know what they will have. I have found many useful items there.
