So I tried to replace the HD on my macbook, but when sliding the new HD in it snagged on the rubber rails and pulled one of them off. I then couldn't get the HD in as the rail was stuck in the HD bay. I also managed to lose one of the screws which fastens the HD to the caddy. (btw I am not a complete moron and I have put together PCs etc before :D)

I took it to my apple store to get it fixed: they put the rubber railings back in, but said that they do not have spare screws (!) so couldn't put the HD back in its caddy or put the hd back in the machine. I'm kind of less than impressed with this especially as they charged me £47 to do this as they said it wasn't covered under the warranty, but anyway...

Does anyone know exactly which screws I would require for the Macbook HD caddy. They require a Torx size 9 screwdriver, but I am not sure how to find out exactly which screws are required. If anyone knows of anywhere that might stock them in the uk that would be great. I have googled for a while but not had any great success so far.
