RC Japan. Anyone ordered?

I just purchased two packets of genuine OS 2.6mm socket head screws from RC JAPAN. They carry a large range of sizes and are priced very reasonably. Got 10x M2.6X7mm and 10x M2.6X10mm. I could have purchased a little cheaper but I chose to trust the high quality of genuine OS parts. https://www.rcjapan.net/ Now to get my MAX .15 back together!!

Total cost was 1,533 Yen delivered. That's about $18 AU or $14 US. I suspect these sort of parts are easier to track down in the US but here, suppliers are few and far between. Plus way expensive compared to this purchase.
I asked my local bolt supplier about M2.6 screws. He just laughed and wouldn't believe they existed.

Thats too much trouble for me to try and convert the yen to US $ , looks like they have pretty good prices ? Huh...

In the US, M2.6 is relatively easy to source. Mcmaster, Microfastener, etc. M2.6 is specific to very few industries.

A link to a UK eBay seller;

But Rod's link is very useful. I have 2 such bolts missing on the water jacket of my OS 30 and 2 others have the phillips cross rounded.

Figure a little less than 1 USD = 100 JPY (today 1 USD = 107 JPY).
So, say an Enya engine is priced at 16,000 JPY - is roughly $160. ($150 actual). Computer Issues

I thought RCJapan was a good deal. Shipping on one item is stiff, but on a box of stuff it was ok. Some of my stuff was backordered so I had a slow experience.
