Austin 16 H.P. intake-to-exhaust bolts / set screws

[mixolydian]

Folks, I’d be grateful for any advice on sourcing the set screws that secure the intake manifold to the exhaust on the BS1 engine in a 1948 Austin 16.

These are the four that run vertically down through the intake (their collar passing through the casting) and into the exhaust manifold (where they are threaded). They are located around the ‘hot spot’ device that’s mounted into the top mating flange of the exhaust manifold.

I came unstuck when one sheared on removal, despite being cautious with it. The other three are okay. I wondered if (by some miracle) there might be somewhere that can provide them. Otherwise its measuring time and off to the machine shop…

Any advice gratefully received – many thanks in advance.
