Feel free to hit PM me if you need any help.
I just clean my screws off by holding the stem (gently as to not damage the threads) with a pair of tweezers and rubbing the head into a Brillo pad, rinse repeat as needed. Then fold an old cloth or paper towel in half, drop a little baby oil in the seem, drop the screw into the seem and rub the screw into the oil with my fingers from outside the cloth/paper towel. Only IF they doesn't help much will I replace them.
You'll end up with extra T bars as you go because often you'll buy more of a figure than you need to replace a specific part. You'll have a spare parts pile in no time with extra t bars.
There are some great Joe vendors on Ebay, but I just search for what I need as go.
My restorations are in the link below.
I checked out your restorations and they look really good. When I start restoring the lone vehicle from childhood I'm going to hit you up for some advice!
