How to use Eco Audit to find the carbon footprint of small electrical products.

  I have used the Eco Audit in The Granta Educ Pack To find out the carbon footprint of simple products that are made of plastics for example. I noticed that there are batteries listed in the database but I need to know the carbon footprint of a small motors and other electronic components like resistors and cables of various thicknesses. Does anyone know where to find a database that has small motors and electronic components like resistors for example. I have noticed that you can add your own materials into the echo audit database so I assume I could create a material that is a 5 volt motor for example but where would I find the carbon footprint for a 5 Volt Motor to add in to that material. Is there a database that has a circuit board in that is populated?
