Northern Europe [UK] Junk drawer PC-AT bits (drive rail, ISA slot covers)

[stepleton]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a few things for my PC-AT that might be accumulating in a junk drawer or rattling around in a box near you:

Metal ISA slot covers, nothing special about them at all. I need a couple of these. Additionally, one (1) compatible screw would be nice to have.

IBM PC AT drive rails. Nothing more exciting than this piece of plastic:

IBM PC 5170 AT or Compatible Hard Drive / Floppy Rails (New Old Stock) | eBay

Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for IBM PC 5170 AT or Compatible Hard Drive / Floppy Rails (New Old Stock) at the best online prices at eBay! Free delivery for many products.

I need one of these and feel odd about paying that much for shipping! (If it came down to that, I'd try to fashion something out of a piece of wood instead.)

I also would like to find two screws to attach the rail to a floppy drive, the same kind of screw IBM would have used for the job. (I hope they stuck to just one size for the AT.)

Is there a chance that you have these things? Maybe the AT in your life is long gone but you held on to these bits without thinking about it? Maybe you live around London or at least in the UK? I can put your clutter to use. Thanks!

If you have access to a 3D printer, there are many stl files available for drive rails.

Regrettably, I have no practical access to a 3D printer for making the rails. This is why I'm entertaining the "piece of wood" option. But the real thing would be even better!
