Can anyone recommend a source for allen key screw replacements? I found a previous post said they were M5X12MM. My Home Depot does not carry that size.

Do you have a Fastenal in the area you live?  Graingers?

Also the real hardware stores like Ace Hardware or True Value often have a selection.

You should avoid the screws that are the black oxide - they rust very quickly.  You can get stainless, or for a lot more money some of the hardware stores around here have a selection of chrome ones that are in a locked cabinet.  The zinc plated ones also hold up fine.

Locally Ace hardware and True Value are the spots for anything in the metric screw/bolt world.

If you have an Osh, they have a selection also.

I bought mine at Ace. Get  them in stainless steel.  My Home Depot stocks them, they are in the fastener aisle in drawers, not hanging on pegs.

Thanks for the suggestions. I found an industrial hardware store that I didn't know existed. They have a massive selection of every screw, nut, and bolt, to include by float bowl screws.
