    Have you taken them in to your local Ace hardware. The one up the road from me has quite the collection of nuts, bolts and screws of about every type.

    I have indeed, and HomeDepot....neither had anything close, so next stop was Fastenal...was surprised they didn't have anything either. Fastenal sales person looked them up in a reference book (I can't recall the mfg name), noted they had a very course thread, and gave me the part # from that catalog. Looks like I'm goin' have to revisit them and get the part # again. (No, I'm not putting them on before Moab....in addition to the 2 cladding screws, they ALSO require several long strips of double stick tape to complete the installation....so they're not a quick removal once installed. I got the waterproof 3M doublestick tape, so I'm all ready to go once I get the longer flange bolts)
