Where can I buy pentalobe screws?
Where can I buy the eight 2.5 mm-long and two 8 mm-long external pentalobe screws for the back cover of the MacBook Air 11" (mid 2011)?
Is this a good question?

Hi again, Dan.
I can report that the correct screws and a suitable screwdriver were shipped from The Book Yard in Britain and arrived in Australia last week. Everything went smoothly - the payment, delivery and installation. Many thanks for your advice and suggestion. - Mark

They are custom thread so standard Phillips won't fit.
@aactech - The screws are a fine pitch metric. They are not easy found in small quantities on the open market. Recycled is often the best source.
At one point we looked for the older MacBook Pro's all we could find was 2k bulk boxes!
