Usually available in UK only in boxes of 500 for about £60 .. which spoils your day if you only want two of the buggers .. :(

I have 10 or so few sizes, if you can measure core and "helix" OD I can check and if I have proper ones I can send few for such a good cause.

The offer is appreciated, and I'll tuck it away on the back burner for the moment. Now that I know what they're called, I have a few other resources to exhaust first.
I'm short just one piece, which was missing when I got it. The others I'm quite sure will go back in nicely when I'm done. I'm not too concerned about it right now, and who knows I might even be able to "borrow" one from another machine that can spare one.... ;) That, or just turn a piece that has the same head shape and do a light press fit into the casting. I have options.

I wonder when we'll be able to upload a picture to Google and say "find me one of these!"? Until then, it's great to have you guys to get quick answers to things like this.

Old motorcykles use those to fasten small signs to the motor and frame. I've bought those for an old Jawa Perak from a parts shop in CZ who sold them one by one.

I discovered a neat little trick for stubborn slot head bolts. There were three holding the long fence casting to the rotating bracket. Even with my largest slot head screw driver and a wrench on the shaft it still slipped out and tried to bugger up the screw. My solution was to find a washer the same thickness as the slot (luck?) so it was a tight fit - a bit of rust on the washer helps snug it up ;) I tapped it in well with a hammer then turned with an adjustable wrench right close to the bolt. I was happily surprised how well it worked. But I still think whoever uses slot drive fasteners should be shot on the spot.
