    does anyone know where i can buy some new HDD jumpers, cos i´ve got loads of old ones kicking about but its getting harder to find any that actually short the pins out cos their a loose fit, i what to buy at least 1000, so i won´t have to scrat around to find a working one ?

    as cheap as possible!

    Check your local computer shop. I can't speak for every place, but the local shops here all carry them.

    I honestly don't know. I would suspect that Foxconn would given that they manufacture individual motherboard components (LPT, Com, CPU sockets, etc), and my guess is that they'd have to do it in large quantities. I don't know if 100 would be enough, given their usual clientel.

    they come with most drives so maybe you can just get a cheap cd rom drive and use the jumper out of that. or if you need alot of them electronics wholesalers like mcm electronics sells them in bulk.
