socket cap screws, M5
Call me anal, but I want all 20 of my braze-on screws to match. Does anyone know of a site that sells the taper-headed ones in the first pic? I'd settle for ones like in the second pic, but would then replace all 20.
They're 17mm long, M5 size, and stainless.
(I'd also like a supply of shorter ones, if possible.)
I found them in titanium, but hesitate to pay $2 apiece for them!

Cool...thanks for the replies.
The McMaster-Carr site has the button-heads, 10mm thread length, for $.12 apiece. Gotta buy 100 at a time, that ought to last me a while!

For reference Totally Stainless has stainless steel M5x10mm button head bolts for $.13, and there are no minimum requirements. They have a lot of other stainless steel hardware as well. I am a long-time (10+ years) satisfied customer. You can download their entire catalog in PDF form here.

I've used these guys in the past because they didn't have a minumum. They have button-head and socket-head screws in SS:

Ace Hardware, at least in my area, has a nice selection of SS metric hardwear.

Those tapered ones are nice.
