No joy, sorry Ken. The closest they had was 3-48 cap screws in black.

Hello Ken,
If the fixings are only available zinc plated then the zinc can be readily removed with phosphoric acid. BobL, our resident chemist ( amongst other titles ), put me onto Chemtech Rust-Off which has a higher concentration of acid than most other over the counter concoctions. Available from Bunnings and works very effectively at converting those garishly plated fixings to sombre "bright" steel.

A search of a few UK-based screw suppliers leads me to suspect these things are unobtainable. Making them might be your only option Ken.
