I use specific screws, bolts and other metric hardware in my business (Japanese motorcycle carburetor rebuilding/sales) and use Japanese Industrial Standard B1188 SEMS screws mainly. Since the stuff came from the land of the virus, retailers selling this hardware are hard pressed to keep it in stock and lead times and prices are getting stupid.
