Help mounting 3.5 hdd to 5.25 drive bays

[Packard93]

I need more of the screws in picture so i can connect my caddy to my slide brackets I have three to 5 drives . I know there standard cause all the ones in picture fit every drive I buy but I dont what to look for when Im shopping on the ebay.
i want to put a 3.5 hdd drive into a 5.25 bay I found out all i need is the screws in picture . Ive got the slide brackets for my case but need more screws.

Hi

If you google hard drive mounting screws
You should find lots of them for sale

The 3.5" drives use a different screw to the 2.5" drives (M3)
They are imperial not metric
Apparently 6-32

While you probably do not need anything so expansive as this, I picked up one of these about 10 years ago. I used to do a lot of PC configuring and one of these became invaluable to me.

StarTech.com PC Screw Kit

Edit: ...and I still have mine.

the small ones that i saw are not 6/32 I need the other ones that are in picture these are different than 6/32 so im guessing there the m3 they have a round head unlike the 6/32 where there more flat .

Hi

do you mean screws to hold frame to PC case or screws to hold 3.5" hard disk to frame?

what you have shown in the picture does not look like a disk caddy

picture or video of screws without them being placed next to a ruler does not help identification

There are standards for screws for mounting 2.5" drives & 3.5" drives but not pc cases

the screw head type:- hexagonal, round, with philips X or slot has no connection to thread size

Screw size requires measurement not guessing
