Somewhere along the line of my resto on my VMC-90, I misplaced the bolts that hold the front coin entry bezel onto the door.  They are somewhat unique, they have flat tops that slide along the rail.  I think they were also used on Cavalier machines, but I dont' want to pull my other bezel off to check.  Anybody know where I could get these, checked both Funtronics and Soda Jerks, but couldn't find anything.  Condition doesn't matter, they are hidden in the end.

Or should I just grind down the tops of some bolts I have, and call it a day?

Thanks!

Just to follow up on this, I took a set of slotted flat head machine screws, ground down two 90 degree edges on the underside with a bench grinder (probably could use a file too), and they work perfect.  The type of screw works because the 90 degrees that are cut in prevent the screw from turning in the slots when you put the nut on the other side.  Simple and cheap.
