Are replacements available? I can't find them at the usual parts vendors. Mine are rusty, I'd like to drill them but only if something can easily replace them. Thx.

From the parts book, and from drilling the head off one, it looks like a 6-32 flat head screw from one end and a 6-32 flat head sleeve from the other side. I'll check locally.
