seemingly the two most obscure car parts in the world

[suburban_ennui]

just spent a fruitless two hours driving around auto shops and hardware stores trying to find ONE DAMN SCREW.

You know the handle for the soft top? There's two phillips head, short screws/bolts holding the plastic handle on the soft-top frame. My MX5 only has one, and I innocently thought I'd go out and buy a second one, to lessen the chance of my sole screw working loose and being lost. Do you think I could find one? No sir. Blank looks from every Repco/Super Cheap and hardware store with 20 km from my house. Anyone know what they're called, or where you can get one from?

Also, the plastic seal around one of my window-sprayers has cracked and I wanted to replace it. (The bit beneath the bonnet and the actual plastic spray unit.) I assumed this wouldn't be terribly difficult to replace, but, again, blank looks all 'round.

Any suggestions for either, before I drop Ross a line?

The screws are M6 x 10mm flat head countersunk, I can get some for you if you want,. PM me.
I'll bring some along on the 26th to the Gymkhana.
You should be able to make replacement gaskets from thin rubber sheet, (an old car or bike inner tube will work), or once again, I have some thin gasket material I'll bring along.

I bought mine from a hardware store. Although it is silver, not the more desirable black. I'm told that furniture manufacturers may have black ones.
