Can anybody help me with sourcing these parts?? (SOLVED)

Hello again, im currently trying to source parts for my poorly race runner.
Whilst doing a full tear down (first time ive attempted it!), i had some problems with grub screws rounding off mainly on the central lay-shaft (which im told is a common problem).
So now Im a bit stuck, as the alloy block the brake disc sits on is jammed on and both grub screws are shot....so i cant get it off.
Also the drive cup that sits on the shaft with the central diff on also has rounded but i manged to drill it out but by doing this, ive totally ruined the coupling itself.
Ive looked on rossmods and king cobra, both are out of stock.

I have posted similar information on MCDUK so if anyone here is like me and on both forums, i'm not trying to question peoples knowledge or be devious in anyway....i'm just broadening my search window lol

Can anyone help me?

Jimbo

Problem has been solved, many many thanks to dgav407 for help!!!

Thanks bud, appreciate that.
I'll email them and see if they can help me.
Thankfully the guy I know in my local model shop is going to help me fix it.
Just feel a bit stupid coz I like doing things myself, feel a bit of a fool for making such a foolish mistake!
