Are you in the U.S.? If so, you should be able to get something similar, or perhaps useable from a good hardware store.
If you're in Europe (or about anywhere else except for the US), it probably has English threads, so you will need a hardware store that carries non-metric fasteners.

FWIW, the last time I contacted them, I found Beseler to be very responsive. Try calling them.

Beseler is pretty much gone. They have no idea what they have nor do they seem to care.

Send me a pm. I think I can help.

Karim,

If it's plastic it's probably a #10-24 or a 1/4-20 (US thread) thumbscrew.
If it's metal it could be a #10-32 or 1/4-20 thread.

Here are some details:

Unfortunately, McMaster doesn't ship outside of the U.S., but with this information you can specify what you need.
