Jim,  I swap mufflers a lot, I have a sack full of used ones, If you cant get any at all I would be happy to send you some, In my advancing age I cant remember the thread size, but you can buy them in any hardware store, I use stainless button head screws ,I think they run about 28 cents apiece, when I sell a set of SE pipes I always change out the screws.

OK, tried to get them at the HD Dealer today.  No luck.  None in stock.  Can't order them either as Twolane's part number is a "hardware pack" and is discontinued, and they couldn't find Sooiee's part # listed, and they checked a muffler endcap package - no screws with them (unlike the "fitment A" type which come with the countersunk screws.) 

So Dartman, if you have three decent ones of the original type, and you'd be happy to mail them to me, you'd make me a happy man!  I can Paypal you the necessary $$!

My experience is limited to V&H and Rinehart, but in both of those cases, the screws that hold the tips on are standard 1/4-20 machine screws.

Did you try the 3652's?  Those are the screws that came on those muffler assemblies. 
Plus it's the same screw that's used to hold on the dash pad on the current FLHTCUSE's and is in the current parts books on page 87 AND 101.  So it appears as if your dealer didn't do his homework. 
It's a current part and I do have documentation that those are the screws that went on those mufflers.

Different, Chief, but the BIG difficulty here is we've been metric for decades - what's standard there is rare here....

Hmmmm.... he said the ones he found against that part number were a lot smaller; if they are the same size that holds the chrome part to the dash pad, they sure are - I have two here - but if they ARE the same, that gives you an indication of what dealers are like outside the US...
