Screws I never did find. I had mine cad plated along with about all the other screws. Those few might be an option you could try with one of Caswells or Eastwoods small home kits and then give a report on how it worked.
That ebay link Brian posted is probably the closest you will find in small quantity for the speednuts. Full boxes you might even find locally at an Auveco distributor. I used a slightly different one with a longer center to folded edge but the other specs are the same as these.
The size to hole is OK at 1/2 inch and panel thickness is good for the pot metal (around .065 - .070 - tight but goes) and fine for sides which is thinner sheet metal. The issue is the top brace across radiator. That is about .120 and while they might possibly be expanded or stretched, I used the originals across there. Don't know if these will weaken or snap when stretched since the leg is so short.
