Fender J deluxe tuner missing the set screw

Good morning,

A year or so ago I picked up a used 2004 Fender Jazz MIA, and I noticed that the tuners seemed tighter and more accurate than the elephant ear tuners on my MIM P. On closer inspection I saw that the J had the cast Deluxe tuners where the P had the pressed steel standard style. At that same time I noticed that one of the tuners on the Jazz was missing the lock screw and washer. I couldn't find a parts diagram for the tuner, to see if it's a spring washer or seal (I could check one of the others, but would prefer to leave well enough alone). The tuner with the missing parts is a little looser than the others and it would be nice to get it fixed. I did find one vendor with a single tuner for $37. Any ideas on where I could order the missing parts?

Reverb has full set for $99, which is probably a good deal. I'd like to upgrade my P with these better tuners as well, maybe look for a five string set so I could do both? I've been looking and don't see any five string options.

Always something... Cheers
