No, not those screws. I'm talking about the appx 3mm set screw that threads into the center bracket on a rear seat luggage bar from a 1966 deluxe bus. See photo below.

Does anyone have a photo and/or specs on that correct screw for this application? Thank you very much!

Drill and re-tap? Vice Grips on the head after some WD-40?

I took my bracket to Ace and they had a M4x.7 slotted screw in their gun screw tray, it's not an exact match but it looks really good in that bracket.
