Go on and buy all you need to replace every one of them on the cowling
and the tools too. Do them all in one shot and save a lot of time and
frustration, because if one has worn out and been lost, the others are
not too far behind.
Might as well buy the stainless screw kit too and start replacing
them.

Well, thanks for that. Does anyone have an answer to my question?
I don't want to start replacing all of them...just looking for one
little part here.

Try Aircraft Spruce or Wag Aero. Both have online shopping.

Whatever...just been my experience that once one starts to come out,
the others are not too far behind. Besides, half an afternoon with
the cowling off and replacing the external screws gives allows you to
give the a/c a very good going over. That's when you find things like
beginning cracks, areas of fretting due to loose fastners ect... I'm
not trying to be an alarmist, just being practical from lots of years
of playing with spam cans and warbirds...

Most parts departments have them right on the counter, taxi in and match
them up?
