Tunable muffler replacement screws!

Ok, heres the deal. I have a OBX Type-R Racing Catback exhaust with the tunable muffler. It has 2 allen bolts to ajust the air flow and "tune" the muffler. I was ajusting the muffler yesterday and completely forgot to re-tighten the allen bolts before I took off, and guess what, no more allen bolts. Now the ajustable metal disc inside the muffler is just rattling around loose inside the muffler. I managed to get the disc back where it belongs and secure it from falling back into the muffler with a screw that doesnt quite fit, however is rattles like crazy because the screw doesnt screw in all the way to tighten it back down! Anyone know where I can find some replacement allen bolts or even screws that match up to the thread pattern to fix this. Thanks for any suggestions.

You might take drill bits and use them as gauges. Try till you find a bit that will barely stick in the hole, then get a metric screw the size of that bit. Maybe an assortment of srews close to that size and try till you find the ones that fit.
