Want to buy Bolts for Mills cabinet

Hello,

I have a Mills FOK which is missing the bolts that go through the cabinet into the bonnet. The cabinet bolt and nut is a 10-24X1-1/4 pan head bolt. I am including a picture of it for reference.


I'd also like to find 2 fillister bolts nickel plated 10-24X.5" or longer. I am looking for original hardware to match the patina of the slot.

Thank you.

--John

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the bolt in your pic is not a Mills. That style is for either a Pace or Watling machine. Mills had a square collar below the head and no knurling on the shaft.

Thanks for the reply! I was suspect it may not be the correct bolt. I appreciate the confirmation. Still would like to find original Mills bolts(2) if possible.
