I wind up usings standard and metric thread gauges and my calipers to figure out what comes closest, and see if it will fit. What we need is some enterprising person to be willing to make small runs of these sizes. The other alternative, which I don't really want to use, is drill them out and tap for helicoils, then you can use standard fasteners, but that isn't a cheap solution either, except if you're set up for #6 and #8 screws, you can cover a lot of bases.
Rodney, How'd that 2 stage foot control work?
Gotta go back to working on taxes, ughh
