Small head Cap screws for ADM/Losmandy dovetails

I ordered an ADM DUP11M dovetail to fit some WO 101mm rings. I believed that the WO rings had M6 screw holes...but alas I was wrong.

They have 1/4" thread holes and I ordered the wrong screws from ADM.

It's easy enough to get 1/4" cap screws (with heads of around 6.4mm depth) but it's not very easy to source low profile cap screws (with heads of around 4mm depth)....the type needed in ADM & Losmandy dovetails. Otherwise the heads foul on the G11 dovetail head.

In fact it's like looking for rocking horse droppings!

Anyone know where I can get low head profile (head depth) 1/4" cap head machine screws in Australia?
