If it is just 10-32 screws, you should be able to get them from the hardware store. I get mine from the Home Depot but there must be something in England.
^^^^ often difficult to find those imperial ones in the metric countries, - I’ve had difficulty with finding that size. Have to go to a specialist bolt supplier.
Sort of related, and going from memory, the hinge mounting screws are 12 x 24 tpi. Which is not a very common size used much now. That would be tougher to find outside of USA.
I am confused the hinge is in two parts the hinge plate bolts to the body - waht size the moving hinge bolts to the plate - what size the moving hinge bolts to the frame - needs to be countersunk - what size thanks
