This is what my Amazon wishlist says:
machine screw, 6/32 x 1/4" Flat Head Screw

Waiting for others to disagree....

What's even BETTER is that they're STAINLESS. And if stainless is good enough for Catmint, then it's good enough for the stainless doubting rebuilders (see separate thread close by.....) on the forum.

Thanks once again Catmint

Blimey - Screw by nature and screw by price ! The original screws had domed heads, not countersunk ?

Flat head CSK in our origional 62. Domed head can stop the hinges from closing properly. Domed were used in the latch at the back.

Your choice what you want to pay, considering the quantity what I sell it is not a problem to most people and to be honest there is sweet FA in it for me
