Bad o-rings on pilot-screws

Two of the o-rings for the pilot screws on my TK-22 carbs(kz550-c3 '82) are bad. Is there a way to buy just the o-rings from someplace? I can buy the pilot screws with the springs and o-ring's but I'm unable to fine them anywhere? Any suggestions?

Any idea where I'd be able to find some pilot screws? The head on one of the screws is worn out and it was a bit painful to get it out of the carb. Thanks much.

This pack At Harbor Freight has some that fit. Put a small amount of lube on the new o-ring, so it doesn't shear/ tear when installed. Sil-glide is a good product, but just some Petroleum Jelly/ Vaseline, works great for this.
