I need some 3/16 BSW brass, raised head, countersunk screws, either

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...crews&_sacat=0

Lots of brass screws on that link but AFAICT there aren't any that
meet the spec.


eBay is the generic answer. Did you even try it first?

Of course! I also tried everywhere else I could think of, that's why I
asked here for help. Do you have a helpful suggestion?


Some people are a bit nervous of eBay and do not realise that it is
actually better than any traditional physical hardware shop (much as I
like them).

If you had said you had tried eBay without success, many of us would
have regarded that as a challenge and no doubt managed to locate some.
As it is, I for one won't be bothering.
