Ricky,

I actually saw some hand screws that were left threaded searching for regular ones on Google over the weekend. I can't remember now who was offering them but I was surprised that they actually made them. They were the same price regardless of which hand you wanted.

I did the same thing with my hi-tecs after loosing a pole.
