Thanks Dave,

I have a couple of the screws. (though mine have a Pozidriv head 
instead.  The problem is I have 2 rocker shafts that were tapped for the 
wrong size. So, I am trying to figure out if I could tap them to the 
right size.

What I said on a previous post was wrong.  I went back to a hardware 
store and the locating screw slid right into the M6x1 tester with out 
having to turn it.  So it is smaller than that. It would not go into a M5x.8

I suspect you are right about it being a Whitworth.

Thanks,
Roger
