Steve,

Which type? The pan head slotted like some of the 50's Rics(like the C58 uses) or the ones like the 60's(round head slotted) used?

Let me know, I might have some that will work for you.

Jeff, I'm all corn fused. I thought he was looking for the Allen head bridge height screws...

Ah, now I see what I missed. The pup screws that YOU (Steve) need are Pan Heads, not flat heads (which look like inverted cones in cross section.) Jeff's your connection, man...
