    I did a search and came up blank. Someone replaced the phillips head [OEM] bolt on one of my tuners with a slotted, these bolts have a "dull [not shiny] finish". Best pace to find a replacement? My fallback is ACE, Home Depot etc IMG_1721.JPG

    I believe those are 12-24 x 3/8" Phillips Round Head Machine Screws. That's the official name of what you are looking for. They may be available at your local hardware store, it's a common size.

    The machine screws at the hardware store are zinc plated, which is that satin-dull silver. However, you can buff them up and they will look almost like they are chrome or nickel plated.

    ,, and they may be available in stainless at ACE, They'd look even gooder.
