I bought a pack of 100 on Amazon Prime for $2. I'll post back here with a link after I get them and confirm they are correct.
I was planning on contacting Support before removing the feet to check how it affected the warranty. This thread was very helpful.
I say don't use velcro at all. IF you are using a plywood-bottom pedalboard or roadcase, use tin strapping and screws instead. Like this.
I can't get any of these M3.5 x 6mm screws either - they are out of stock everywhere in the UK !!!! (all the new AX8 owners maybe??)
I think I will just drill my board with 6 x 20mm holes - and the rubber feet can drop into those!!! ...with Velcro on the back of the unit.
I think in future Fractal need to give consideration to the fact that the majority of people will be board mounting these units - would have been a lot easier if they had used a standard/popular sized machine screw for the feet......and/or maybe include a second set of shorter screws with the unit .......(or design the unit such that the screw depth isn't so critical - and taking the feet off doesn't risk any damage!)

I've always done that way.. many advantages:Love this idea!
wonder what is the difference between the screws in the link above and this one Amazon product ASIN B000NHVQTOThe screws indeed work and were dirt cheap on Amazon. When I bought them last week they were $2 for 100 and the price is just a tad higher now.
The picture isn't showing the exact item I ordered - what arrived was the proper 6mm in length, and the M3.5-0.6 threading worked perfectly. As Admin M@ mentions, they don't sit completely flush because of the conical head, but velcro solves that issue.
Edit: link fixed.
