Thats what I ran into - I need 4 (my back shackle brackets still have the original chains attached, so I need 2 for the fronts and 2 for the top support rods), so I find it hard to buy a box of 100! I made my own clips, rings and pins (pics on my blog) - found the chain locally, but nobody has the u drive screws locally.
Hey John, how much to throw 4 in an envelope and mail them to me? _________________ Matt

They are actually called drive screws. They are still used when attaching data plates and rebuild plates to cast iron and aluminum cases. They are not very expensive even when buying a box of 100 they go for $10 to $12 a box.
You might also check with Vintage Power Wagons. They offer a bag of 10 for $5.

The starter and generators on the WWII, M37/M43 and Civilian Power Wagons use little tiny rivets to install the data plates. We now have these little Data Plate Rivets, 10 per package $5.
