I have been looking for these narrow head screws shown here. Are the readily available?

I have only ever seen them on that Willians tuner, and I assume they're custom-made. Is everything in Oz metric now? Here we're still in a half-and-half twilight world...

I have never seen any screws like that available for sale. They look like custom made screws, Just for building that keyless head.

Thanks I thought they might be custom. inhex cap head screws work so I guess I’m stuck with those.

Ian AUS is officially all metric but can still buy imperial nuts and bolts as well.
weirdly can’t buy 3 mm mild steel rod but can get 1/8 inch. Probably still using machinery from the 1960s

Same here, John! You can buy rod sold as 3mm but when you get it home and measure it it's ⅛"! Old dies for sure.
