I doubt that denford have any spares for the easimill, as they were all sold off ages ago. Recently there have been some spare screws on ebay, they may be the correct one or they may be for the early triacs.
Here's the ebay item number 111114483384, make sure you look at all the items he's selling as he has a few.
Failing that I have a contact who's relatively cheap, or you could try the Chinese route as a last resort.
