[Soekris] request: screw as spare parts

[Lawrence W. La Mont]

This site seems to have the screws-

Personally, I'd get a close metric size and re-tap the holes. You will 
still need to go to a specialty house for the small size, black oxide 
finish, but I'm sure that is preferable to ordering piece parts and 
paying shipping 1/2 way around the world....
