Default Blanik screws?

I'm looking for a few replacement screws for access panels on my Blanik L33 Solo. The screws are M4x14 hex heads. The odd part: They are a very low oval head and the countersink taper is about 120 degrees. They are much like countersunk rivets (same angle).
I have been quoted by the factory with a lofty price....$21.40 EACH!
Does anyone know if a source for these in the US? I am not sure if these have a specific DIN #.
Thanks, Wade


I try to make five or ten of these for you today. I'll get some SS M4x15 90-degree screws and undercut the heads to 110-deg so they'd work OK for either 100 or 120 holes.

Thanks, Bob K.
