JIS screws - need a source

I am barely hanging on and need to find a source.

Both the points cover and the rotor cover screws are mostly stripped, as are the screws holding in the points plate.

Need to find some replacements soon or will be out of commission

Bought some off EBay and they were not correct

You might want to do what I did, went to West Marine store and bought SAE threaded stainless steel Phillips oval head screws and re-tapped the holes for rotor and points covers (not the covers, the bodies). They look really good, polish up nicely and cost only a couple of bucks for all. I'm not a real purist but I think they look fine. Can't remember the thread pitch, maybe 10/24? I couldn't find Metric in the SS screws but boating supply places have them in SAE.

Fast Fred sent me 3 stator cover screws two weeks ago so he probably still has some.
