    Normal self tappers could work, but as they've got thicker threads, the extra thickness/pressure can cause the plastic to split.

    Personally, looking at the photo, I'd find a good torx bit the correct size, tap it in with a hammer, and re-use the screws, as the damage doesn't look that bad.
    Unfortunately this one is the good one. The screw that was rounded off had to have the head drilled off. Who ever had the spindle before me hadn't used the correct tool to take the screws out.

    I've found a company online called accugroup who helped me out and are sending me some screws out.

    I did contact kress for a quote for some replacements and also for some other parts but it has been a week and I've had nothing back. I guess I'll not be buying another kress spindle.
