I've got a Nylint Power and Light truck that I've had for as long as I can remember, that makes it pre-1960. It's in very good condition. The first attachment is a top view, and the second is a side view. And those are the original poles on the trailer. The third attachment, is the original screws. For the Imperially challenged, that's 11.09mm on the calipers.

The only parts on this truck that aren't original are the 4 pivot screws in the auger head. Over the years I lost 2 of them, which is apparently a common experience since a lot of these that I've seen on-line were also missing the screws. So I replaced all 4 screws with #6x1/2" phillips' pan head sheet metal screws. That was the closest match that I could find. What I'd really like is to find some zinc plated #6x3/8" slotted pan head sheet metal screws with a Type B point, that's the blunt tip.
I've found a couple of manufacturers that will make me some, The first will make them for $0.05 each, in lots of 10,000. The second will make them for $0.07 each, in lots of 1000. Since I only need 4 screws, both of those a kinda like radical OVERKILL. And before somebody suggests McMaster Carr - they don't have them, I already looked and asked.
If anybody has any of these screws laying around in their junk drawer, I'd be happy to take them off your hands - for cash money no less. Just PM me.
