Dale. this is just a tease. I have the screws at home, but not heading that way until next year.
 (Shame I dont have the BSF ones for my carriers) You might have to make them from set screws (bolts that are threaded to the head)The cups you could Araldite into place (I did). If you could locate some suitable copper, you could form the heads. You need long and short ones. Here are some ebay U.K and USA bearing possibilities. Auction # 141008766719 uk cheaper. Are buget but should be good for many years. EU made. # 130573027106 usa # 190852765613 usa. These ones are angular contact, and would need to be used in pairs. Quite expensive.

Riveting suspension Cups
I use countersunk alloy rivets, with the countersunk on the inside, bolt a suspension ball into the head of the recess and the rivet sticks up and make a ''snap'' to dome the little head over like a rivet top.
I think the aircraft industry uses this type of rivet, you can get them in various lengths and just trim to suit. The challenge is to find new cups.

I had a good day today . Because My wheels are away to have new tyres I sent away some parts to be sand blasted they came up real nice . Then I primed ready for green . Is $150 per hour normal for sand blasting these guys need a medal for doing that for a job .. Dale

Here are some photos of my lower hull ready for enamel in the morning . Do other carriers have this texture finish to their armor plate ? looks like wood grain .. Dale
