Chris,
Try contacting the Rollei distributors for the country in which you live.
You could also contact the authorized repair and service agency for
Rollei. Or even UNauthorized repair shops.
I have never had any problems buying needed Rollei parts that way.
BTW, the screws to which you refer are of two different head
sizes; the larger one for the front.
