Not so fast buddy...

I did a few phone calls around here and all I could find is length 30 or
40mm.  No 35.  I suspect 30 or 40 would fit, but I'm not sure, I haven't
looked at the mechanism.

As for stainless steel, no luck.  The largest fastener supplier in town
tells me that fine thread stainless steel (which is what the 1.5 refers to
in the number) is VERY RARE.

There ya go.

p.s. All this applies to Ottawa/Canada
