Do you have any spare bolts. Many times these companies sell the bolts seperate. The package may have the thread # or the site may have it listed.

Take one of the screws to a hardware store. Lowe's, Ace, Home Depot, Fastenal will have gauges to determine the diameter, length and thread pitch. FWIW, found an odd nylon lock nut for my lawn tractor's steering column at Ace.

I plan on doing that tomorrow. i tried my thread gauges today bit they did not lign up so I assume they are metric.

Check Arizona Carbide--they have a pretty good cross-reference table and stock screws for most brands. (they moved to Grand Rapids, MI when Ron Campbell bought the company. Ron is a long-time turner, and a good guy. I'm only a customer, and not plugging for profit)
