Unfortunately, the only thing the PO saw in the hardware store was coarse bolts, too. :-) I got my top hardware a number of years ago from The Roadster Factory.
I am in the process of going over a '31 Ford Model A sedan. That car has 74 years of POs and their sometimes-clumsy attempts to maintain it. There are incorrect fasteners all over the place. But fortunately the "A" is about the best-documented car in history, and virtually every fastener is available in the correct size and style, and not at all expensive.
