Hi Dennis,
  McMaster & Carr
http://www.mcmaster.com
phillips flat head, 1-72, 1/2" length, stainless steel machine screws
knurled threaded inserts, 1-72

Take care with the comb, the plastic is rigid and can crack easily, drill
carefully.  Use araldyte to epoxy the inserts in place, use vaseline on the
machine screw thread it into the insert, then press it into the hole.
 Dimensions of the knurled threaded inserts should be included on their
datasheet on the site.

Cheers,
-- G.
