Not sure what size "4-40" is, but I've bought two foot lengths of nearly
3mm (a bit under 1/8") all-thread, plus nuts, from the hardware store.
(It's just dangerous to go in there though, because the big mothers we
have these days are a couple of acres under one roof, with so many
aisles of good stuff, that it's a great idea to eat lunch before going
in.)
Alternatively, I've also bought a couple of small taps, so I can turn
some scrap Alu down to a suitable standoff diameter, then drill & tap
the ends, and use up some of the bucket of short screws cluttering up
the place. That might be neater, and doable with what's to hand.
