Facnor 165 LS furler parts

Anyone know where I can get the machine screws which hold the foil sections together? Or better still, advise me of their specs so I can source them locally.
I've downloaded the Facnor pdf and it's not very forthcoming.

From memory I believe that they are countersunk M5x10. Best if you can remove one and confirm. The originals had a blue coating on the threads, possibly to serve as insulation, but I doubt you'll be able to find like them easily. Either way a dab of Durolac would serve the same purpose.

Many thanks. These have to be worth a punt for the price of half a bitter. I've seen the blue stuff on lots of fixings, especially on computers, and always assumed it was some sort of thread lock.

I'm in the same situation of wanting to get the screws before I start pulling it apart. Were they, indeed, M5/8? What length? 10/12/16?
