Try these folks, they are an old company and may have old stock. They will sell small lots.

A worst case is you can modify the head on a 1/4 bronze lag screw...

They look a little thin for 14's.Measure the head diameter in 1/32s and subtract 2 to determine the gauge.This would give you a head diameter of a half inch for a 14.

I checked em closer and they are 12s
thanks,
thanks for the leads

Canoeyawl good idea , they are going to be covered with plugs anyway, I guess I could cut a slot if all else fails
