I thought fellow listmember Roger was selling stainless versions?

I'm missing one of the tail light assembly mounting screws so I paid a
visit to my friendly ACE Hardware to see if I could find one. I was
poking through the fasteners section when a red-vested sales associate
approached and asked if he could help me find something.

I handed him the screw.

"That's just a sheet metal screw," he said.

I told him I had reason to believe it's metric.

He snorted and picked up a #12 SMS and tried to match the threads. They
were too coarse. He looked at the screw.

"You're not going to find a metric sheet metal screw."

"Someone did -- you're holding it," I pointed out, helpfully.

He handed it back. I've come home empty-handed.

So -- I need one. Or eight in stainless. Any ideas?
