I ordered mine from Go Westy, and they didn't fit!  Head was too large!  They have likely fixed that now, as that was 10 years ago probably?  I will look at Robnett's.  That is where I found my replacements.  They are an old school hardware store!  The screws are very specific, as the head has to go thru the edge of the track, before it can screw into the hole!  The head has to be practically non existent.  I can look tomorrow.  :). Generally I think I paid .05 or .07 a screw.  How many do you need?
