Where to get thicker neck screws

I have a Peavey Foundation bass and the original neck screws were rusted pretty badly and I couldn't get them clean, so I replaced them with a set from Axes R Us. The new screws though are standard Fender-style, and are slightly thinner than the original ones. The neck fits pretty tight in the pocket but I can still wiggle the neck slightly. Where could I buy screws that are thicker than than the Fender-types I've got? I stupidly binned the originals.

Why not plug the holes & redrill for the smaller screws?

I did think about it, but I don't have the necessary tools to do it myself, and taking it to a tech would be both costly and time consuming. I use the Peavey on a weekly basis for my band so new screws for the neck would be the most cost effective and time efficient solution.

There was a Foundation neck plate and screw set on eBay recently but someone bought it before I got paid, such is my luck!

Ram a match or two in the hole and screw them back in, works a treat :)

What he said, add a little PVA glue for a 'pro job' ;)
