Flex 3403 VRG Handle bolt lost.
I lost one of the bolts to my flex 3403. This is a M8x16mm Allen head bolt that holds the handle onto the machine. I am able to match up a bolt generically from the hardware store but the head is too thick and sticks out past the plastic handle. It could lead to a nasty scratch if I am not paying attention to it full time.
Any source for original bolt and parts would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm guessing that what you were looking at at the hardware store was a socket head cap screw.

Instead, look for a round head ak "button" head.

I doubt a flat head would work as it requires a countersink.

57Rambler & Spazz, Thanks for the links
Powerhouse distributing is the parts source for Flex it seems. They have a $10.99 flat rate shipping fee, which is generally fair enough but doesn't make sense for a .95 bolt.
I will pursue the other links and see.

Machine screw Phillips from your hardware store..... Rounded head will fit flush.

While you're at it, see if you can find a spare C-BEAST and send it to me
