I found stainless screws for my Ham-M rotator without a problem. These were not hex head, but slotted. I think they were 1/4", but I don't remember. It shouldn't be a problem to find mounting screws for a rotator at any hardware store. I'd get stainless. I also used a stainless split and flat washer. I used a flat washer on each side of the rotator plate -- which helps to keep a small space between the rotator and the plate. My rotator has been up 3.5 years with no slippage in any of the screws.
