Your best bet is to make a screw like the one in my photo from a bolt of the correct size.
The car is a 1930. I did have to make the exact screw you pictured. I was able to do that with a drill, files and hacksaw. I feel I have a personal connection to the car now that I made something for it instead of ordering and getting someone else's work.
