Danny, if you are in the US it's easiest to simply order a selection of OEM stainless steel screws from CSC. You will find that some of the SS stuff (the screws/bolts holding the plastic to the tank) are hard to duplicate at the hardware store. The quality of the SS bits is pretty good. My 2016 is not showing any signs of rust on the fasteners and the only ones I have had to replace were due to me dropping them, then they bounce off into never-never land. With that said, the covers on the cams and crankshaft are the exception. They are made of some kind of soft metal and it's all too easy to chew them up. They are also unique enough that CSC is your only source. At least they are cheap so I have a few on hand. Once again, invest in about $10 worth of a selection of common sizes from CSC and you are set. Tako also offers a kit of spares and it looks like his kit covers far more than just the SS stuff I mention.
