My first stop in Oakleigh would be Tony's Hardware on Chester St. If he doesn't have what you're after he should be able to tell you what you need: measure thread pitch etc, give you the specs so you can look for it online. I've always found him extremely helpful. It's a classic little local family run hardware shop hanging in there despite the likes of Bunnings. As I recall in the 2000s it was also a bit of a local social community hub, especially on Saturdays.

Tony's English is not brilliant but he usually has fluent help on hand. I moved out of the area a while back and last visited 5+ years ago so I'm assuming he hasn't sold it in the meantime; or his sons/daughters might have taken over. In any case it's worth a shot.
