Since you are dealing with an altimeter why not search for altimeter repair 
shops then see if anyone can direct you to what you need.  Some of the old 
repair shops may have what you need.

I'm hoping someone knows where to find an odd item like this one.  It's to 
replace the lockdown screw on a WWII-vintage altimeter.  The original was 
blackened brass, with a square shouldered head (which I've heard called 
cheeseheads) 7/32 inch in diameter & 1/16 inch thick.  Threads were #2-64 & 
a little less than 1/4 inch long.  McMaster-Carr, normally a name to conjure 
with, doesn't have anything that small, and that's an unusually large head 
for such small threads.

Thanks & 73,
