This website has #13 for you, $5.22
It doesnt have #23. But maybe another factory direct website will have it, just look around. Good luck
Before I spent $20.88 for four 10-24 Shoulder Screws, I'd be looking at places like ACE Hardware or maybe even somewhere online.
I'd guess the #23 screws are #8 sheet metal screws. The #8 being the size of the screw, not anything to do with the #8 from the drawing posted.

I was missing one screw, (23)they're correct it just a small sheet metal screw. I happened to find one in my bag of random bolts I keep around. I would take one with you to your local hardware store and match it that way.
@JonTX, I may have a set of the #13 shoulder screws I could send you, I'll have to check. I have a set of quick disconnects for the bows to brackets, that I took off a previous TJ before I sold it. If I can find those, and install on my bow hardware, the current shoulder screws would be extra, since the quick disconnects replace those with a spring-loaded pin. Do you want me to check this evening?
Appreciate it but don't worry about it right now. I MIGHT have the hardware, the previous owner put some of the screws in the glove box. I will let you know.
Gotcha.
I may just swap those out anyway, they make removing and installing the soft top bow a lot easier than the shoulder screws...no tools necessary.
I know this is an old thread, but I need number 12, number 13, and number 23 from the diagram. Someone mentioned that one of them is a number eight drywall screws. What are the others? Can I just get them from the hardware store. Need them today.
The #12 Screw that holds the bracket to the roll cage looks like this:
The #23s that hold the tailgate clips are much easier to find. You can drill it out and use any kind of machine screw and nut. Or I used a black version of these self tappers:

If you can't find the screws that hold the Bow to the Pivot Bracket, you might just buy some quick disconnects like these:

If you have a local Fastenal or Lightning Bolt near you, they will have them for about a tenth of your local home building or auto parts supplier.
You can also go to their web sites and order. I usually get my orders within 3-4 days, just food for thought.
