I lost a couple of mine as well Crying or Very sad

but found something even better to replace them with :D .

They're the little rubber pads you put on the bottom of speakers etc to stop them scratching the surface of whatever you've put them on. Four small pads from Maplins cost me 49p and they're a perfect fit. The part no. is FE32K. If you go to the Maplins web site (www.maplin.co.uk) you can see if they've got stock in a store near to you (just checked and looks like they're on a 2 week back if you want to order on-line).

They squeeze quite tightly into the holes and you can push them just below the surface so they don't get knocked out. If you ever need to remove them, I'm sure that a pin would pop them out without too much trouble.

those are adhesive, did you stick them in? or leave the backing on so you can take them out if need be?

I took the backing off so they are sticky, but I don't think they're actually pushed in far enough to stick to anything. Even if they do stick to the screw heads they should be easy enough to prise out if necessary. If you want to leave the backing paper on they will still fit tightly and don't think they'll drop out - definitely not as easily as the existing plugs. Even if they do its only 49p for another set of 4.
