Find a local hardware stockist, and ask for 3/8 BSF. Setscrews (At 5/8 long would expect them to be treaded all along the length..

Being BSF a local stockist may not have them, so you might need to search on google for stockists, (preferably in UK ) Don't expect them mto be cheap, though!

If the lathe is operable, and you have a 3/8 BSF Die, you can make tour own out of hexagon bar, but they won't be high tensile.

(How dioI set the Die? Adjust it to a close fit on an used section of thread on the existing setscrews , or on a commercial one if available. )

Now you are in the market for Die Holders and Tap Wrenches.!
