If you cannot find them at the local hardware store, McMasters-Carr has them. Easy to use web site and fast delivery, but pricey.

If it's the floorboard screws you are looking for, best to get them from one of the Model A suppliers, where you can get the special washers that go with the screws.

I could not find 14-24 screws on McMaster-Carr or Bolt Depot. I doubt your local hardware store will carry them. You sure you are not referring to the next size larger than 12-24, which would be ¼"-24?

The ones Bratton's sells are 12-24 https://www.brattons.com/FRONT-FLOOR...uctinfo/28090/

14-24 is an obsolete thread size (A.S.M.E.), used "back in the day". Some people think 14-24 is the same as 1/4-14, but it's not. #14 is slightly smaller than 1/4".
#12-24 screws are .216" diameter, #14-24 are .242" and 1/4-24 are .250"

Thanks for learning me on that. I have never heard of or can find anyone that carries a 14-24 screw.
