I am hoping someone can help, I am looking for some raised head countersunk screws size no 12 x 24
UNC or 7/32” Whitworth.
An internet search was fruitless, these are an obsolete size, just hoping someone may have some, well 10 actually please.

Slotted? How long? Westfield Fasteners list a Phillips headed version in lengths up to 1" here:

7/32 is 5.556 mm 0BA is 6mm and as the Austin wasn't metric I would hazard a guess that you should look for 0BA
This site shows 3/16 BSF http://www.stainlessautomotivefastenings...ts_id=8824

Also 0BA raised countersunk

You can identify a 12-24 screw by measuring the diameter with a ruler at slightly less than 7/32″ (slightly larger than 3/16″ or 0.210″).

You could always re-thread a M6 to 7/32 Whit, I just tried it on a mild steel bolt as a test and the thread came out OK.

Hi Bob,0BA is close to 1/4” and too big, 3/16 is too small, 1/32” undersize.
Thanks for suggestions.
