Default Cowl Screws for .61 TF P47

Does anyone know where I can source cowling screws? Local hardware store doesn't carry the screws or washers in this small a size. Can't find them on Tower either. Need them for my TF P47.

Thanks,

I also have a TP p-47, the way I fix my cowl was by inserting small pieces of the plastic nylon push roads that is used for the throttle, made the screw holes a little bigger then inserted the small pieces, I'm using servo screws, they will never come out with this fix, I've done this before a few times with great results.

Recently I ordered from RTL washers that have rubber on one side, these are great for cowls as they absorb the vibrations coming from the engines, these are very small and combined with the servo screws they are superb at holding a cowl in place.

Another flyer at the field gave some of those washers the other day and they work great.
