Finding the screw is the easy part. You can find the stainless steel flat allen-head English 10-32 1/2" screw like that shown in the photo of my mod at LOWES

What I was saying is that as far as I know, no retailer sells the counter sunk dispersion screen or counter sunk support for it.

This was easy enough!

I would not use chrome-plated steel for the dispersion screen screw. After a few times taking it apart, the chrome will get scratched/weakened, and rust will start forming. Descaling the boiler will also etch the chrome plating, very likely

Stainless steel is the only acceptable material for that screw (or brass, but I doubt you can find a brass screw that easily)

Has anyone else had major problems with dispersion of water after doing this mod? I have the jet coming out fine except there is usually a hard stream coming out on one side. I'm not sure if I just didn't do it straight or if it's something with the stream.
