Here is one option. 2.5mm x 20mm stainless socket head cap screw. 12.59 per pack of 50 from McMaster-Carr. Have enough to hand out to friends!

Punch in this part number:

91292A019
Is 2.5 -20mm the right size for Shelter 501 MKII?
McMaster-Carr does not have metric sizes brass screws.
Any other sources fro brass?
