I have a cover for my 180 that I went to put on a few days ago and found that the snap head screw that one of the 4 corners attached to was missing. The aft snaps are riveted in place by the forward snaps are part of the line of screws song the back edge of the lower cowling (hope I'm saying that right ).

Anyway, I know most stainless screws can be found at a hardware store and I've looked. This metric screw with a built in snap head is gonna be a booger to find in afraid. I am going to assume that this screw is not a factory item and was a replacement when the cover was bought years ago. So essentially that $50 bag of screws on sportys won't likely have it.

I've attached a picture of the existing one from the other side.

Any suggestions ?
