Double Bass Wing bolt for endpin collar

[Bassalova]

I need to replace my bolt/screw for the endpin collar. It´s a 1/4-20 thread bolt. Here in Norway we got the metric standard threads, measured in millimeters, not inches. So a wing bolt like this is kind of hard to get hold of. I would also like this wing bolt to be ok to look at, not just a spare part found from the bottom of the tool box.

Anyone got any ideas of where to find this?
Perhaps Bob Gollihur got some idea if he reads this

See if you can find a 1/4 BSW (British Standard Whitworth) in the UK (equivalent)
Alternatively, you could drill and tap M8x1.25 if you have enough meat in the collar.

Since I'm 1/4 Norwegian .... I'm willing to help you out if you still need help. I can just go to my local hardware store .... lots of choices for 1/4-20 knobs / bolts. I use a nice plastic-headed one that is easy to grip and tighten on my Kay bass. I'll buy several choices (they are inexpensive) and mail them to you for free if you PM me your mailing address .
