Stainless machine screw for bimini fitting..

[wipe_out]

One of the screws from one of the forks on our bimini tubing has fallen out and vanished.. The boat is a Larson which is American so it's a US thread machine screw.. Its just a touch over 6mm so I guess that makes it 1/4"..

Chandler only has metric stuff and onlne the only place I found so far was selling in a box of 200..

Anyone know where I can get a (or small quantity of) 1/4" x 3/4" stainless pan/cheese/button head philips machine screw?

1/4" UNC is same pitch as 1/4" Whitworth so worth a check with a Whitworth screw to check the thread size. A stainless Whitworth will do the job if you have/can find one too.
