Only saw one screw in 2009 issue of Restoration Specialties Cataloghttp://www.restorationspecialties.com/ and since it lists specifically for a 65 Corvair, don't know if thread or length is right. Max Merritthttp://www.maxmerrittauto.com/ lists both pieces as available if you want to go that route but if both items needed, at $10 per location, a bit expensive.
The Packard one is identical shape to the Corvair but 1 1/2 inches long overall, threaded length of 1 1/4, & the thread is standard US-fine machine thread of 1/4-28. Slotted for flat blade rather than Phillips. Problem is the cage nut 4.13003 since yours is also an issue. There does not seem to be one available for that size thread in Rest Spec or in a large industrial supply listing so it must have been special to the bucket or just not commonly used anymore.
You may luck out with the Corvair screw, but if not, and don't want to buy NOS, should be fairly easy to have a machinist make something on a lathe and adapt to a metric or common US 1/4-20 setup.
