Lulzbot Mini Extruder Idler Thumbscrew replacement

Anyone know where I can source a thumbscrew (or the whole assembly) for the top of the extruder that holds the idler to the filament drive gear? I bought a mini but it’s missing one of the thumbscrews, M4 washer, spring, washer, and of course the thumbscrew.

Checking the OHAI stuff it doesn’t have part numbers for the thumbscrews (but does show the springs are Spring, 6mm OD, 9.7mm FL/HD-MS0027)

Found the parts info here

Screw with knob is available from IT-Works 3D also https://itworks3d.com/product/thumbscrews-metric-plastic-knobs/

Found springs for sale at this link https://assembyl.com/shop/parts-accessories/spring-6-pack-6mm-od-9-7mm-fl/ but a google search will turn up more places that were out of stock.
