Default Truss Rod Screws for Vintage Yamaha Guitars

I am the owner of a lot of vintage acoustic Yamaha guitars. I want to replace a lot of the truss rod screws with nice new ones but I have had no success finding a retailer that sells them. They are a counter-sunk screw about 9mm in length. That's about 3/8 of an inch.
I wonder if anyone out there can point me to a source for such screws? Before you point me in StewMac's direction, I have tried them but they don't sell that particular screw.

Lots of hard to find things here. They even have a section for guitar screws, although what you're looking for might be in their more general section. Howard Klepper originally put me onto this site.
