It doesn't seem possible to order the correct 2.5" mounting screws and grommets from HP (although they appear in the parts store they don't seem to be orderable). So I made up equivalents using a couple of Maplin's rubber vibration washers and a large headed bolt.
Here's a link to the washers (pack of 50) : http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/anti-vibration-washers-a26gf


other sizes: small medium large original auto

These are great! The only parts you can't actually get anywhere and you made them look like they are official! really nicely done. I don't know why but I like the black material!

Can you please provide information on the bolts you used, and if possible link to where you brought them. I checked Maplin for these and they say 1mm thickness, do you think these will do?

2mm thickness (so you won't have to use 2. but inner diamter is 2.5mm (as apposed to 4mm) and outer diameter is 10mm (as apposed to 11mm) I'm concerned about the outer diamter (if I were to purchase of ebay) since your shot shows that the latch barely touches the washers from Maplin that have a mm more diamter. But its reassuring that its possible to make do with your own kit for the grommets. Thankyou
