So, I was just finishing disassembling my carb for a rebuild, and broke one of the little brass screws that holds the throttle plate to the rod. Unfortunately, SOR doesn't seem to show that as a clickable item on their big schematic of carb parts.

Can anybody help me find the proper replacement? Or should I just get properly sized stainless metric machine screws at the hardware store?
 
Update: couldn't drill it out without damaging the threads. So, looks like I'm going to be retapping that hole, so I'm going to just go with stainless screws.
 
Aren't those staked in place so they will not come out?
 
No sign of any stakes. The ones on the choke plate came off just fine. I think there was just too much carbon on the threads where they stuck out the other side, and I was stubborn and didn't realize the screws were solid brass.
