Old Samick Leg Bolts

[Robert Goodale]

You might want to try an large automotive supply store.  I had this 
problem once with an old Kawai and searched everywhere without success. 
 It seems that it is a very special type of metric thread.  I eventually 
went to a huge Napa auto store which also doubled as a distribution 
center for other stores.  I bet that they could be ordered from other 
smaller Napa stores in your area, you would just have to wait a day or 
so.   These had a normal hex head and not the vertical tab/hole head but 
they worked just fine.  I'm not sure what you would use these things for 
in automotive applications.
