Pelican lists these for $1.75 each, BUT, they don't keep any in stock. They have to special order them from Porsche in Germany. I could not afford to leave my car on jack stands and wait for these to come from Germany. I did a bit of on line research after measuring one of the screws. The screw is in fact a standard M6-1 x 25mm socket head cap screw. I ordered some from Amazon in 302 stainless and when they arrived today, I confirmed they are an exact match. Here is the Amazon description.
Metric 304 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw, Hex Socket Drive, M6-1.00, 25 mm Length

Thanks for sharing, nice early contribution. I will add the Snap-On stubby M6mm hex socket was my solution to this problem.
