American sized bolts?

I've just started assembling a PM research V-twin engine, as per the photo. What I feel really spoils the look of it is those slotted-head screws holding the cylinder covers on. It would look so much better with some hex-headed bolts. They are 5-40 x 1/2" - can anyone suggest where I may be able to buy some? Happy Christmas!

Thanks, but Modelfixings don't seem to keep any hex-headed bolts. However, I've now found 'Microfasteners' in the USA and they do stock the right size, so I've placed an order and will await their arrival.
