The nylon screw is of a larger diameter than the metal screw so you won't
be able to substitute for it; the hole in the casting will be too large. A
cheap and easy substitute is to go to a good hardware store and purchase
some nylon screws of the same diameter and thread pitch.  Cut the length
down to size with a knife and then trim the head down a bit.  If the white
colour of the screw bothers you then put a dab of black paint over it.
