Belt cover screw and retainer clip

Does anyone know the part no for the belt cover screw and the U shaped retainer clip? I have a couple missing and would like to replace them.

While I like the idea of supporting Shopsmith I usually pick up such things locally. Here our Ace Hardware is a good source for stuff like screws, bolts, clip nuts etc.
If you are including these in a larger order (and you probably are) that is different but in small orders it is most likely that those items cost them more to handle than what they get for them.
I just noticed yesterday that I have one of those screws missing on one cover. My source will be from cannibalizing one from a salvage unit.
"Salvage unit" is a euphemism for junk pile.

Those are the exact numbers that I recently ordered. I received flat not U shaped retainers and silver screws. I believe they are for the vent plate and not the belt cover.

Call 'em! They goofed if you ordered by part number!!!!

P.S. a folded(u shaped) over piece of sheet metal(with holes) will serve as a temporary 'fix'. Also did you check the bottom of the motor pan as a 'source'! ;>}}

Every time I pull the belt cover off the 510 model, one of the tinnermans goes clinking to the floor.

Until you discover that one of the previous owners messed up the threads and half of the screws don't fit tightly anymore.

Thanks Dad or Papa (whichever did it!) Unfortunately neither is around to complain to anymore.

2 of the screw holes are stripped completely. Short of tapping and using a larger size screw does any one have any suggestions?

Tinnerman clip like item 501656. It only takes one heavy handed person to strip the theads in the older headstock. Another alternative is to go to a larger self tapping screw.
