I got some from the stainless steel shop at taren point but he was e pensive.
Try jamestown distributors or bolt depot in the states.
Bolt depot has them but they wont ship outside of america. You will need to find a mate over there that can send them on to you. Thats how I get them. I used six guage for the gunwall strips.

hi paul.
I am sure I will meet you eventually.
my name is mark Rumbelow and I just bought one of Col Baileys boats , "friski"
i'm just fitting a couple of scoops on the engine cover and some cleats.
colin has done a great job with the resto and just wanted to keep the period correct screw thing going on.
