My bad.  

Try this. They show some 2.5mm insert screws.

Thanks again Ed. Those screws look similar to what I got from the UK, but with a larger drive, ie. T-9 vs. T-7 for the Walter screw. That leaves me to believe that screw possibly has an even larger head than the Walter screw? 

 I don't know, but it seems like there are different standards for the screw head sizes and drive socket sizes depending on the insert.
Maybe Ken can confirm or discredit my suspicions. At this point I wouldn't trust anything to fit properly other than a Walter #FS2066 screw. I just hate buying a new item and then finding out you can't find readily available replacement parts.

Dyson is one such example. We have one of their vacuum cleaners (which works great) but they won't sell any factory replacement parts. Either sent the entire machine back to the factory for "repair$", or buy aftermarket parts elsewhere. But at least you can find aftermarket parts that work.

No big deal. If I loose the screw so be it. I'll take a chance with one of the generic screws and if I break an insert it won't be the end of the world either. I don't have a business riding on it.
