Default Button Head Socket Cap Screw Size

Does anyone know the the size and length of the Button Head Socket Cap Screws on the BDR hood/scoop?

Bueller? Cashburn? Anyone?

Ace Hardware. I took one of my hood screws to Ace and they had the screws and nuts. Ace has a super good inventory of hard to find screws, nuts and associated hardware. Give them a try.

If Ace doesn’t work, go to Fastenal. They are all over the place and a lot cheaper than Ace.

While we're on the topic... anybody know where I can source the little poly caps that are used on the underside of the hood to hide the screw and nut? Missing a few... and would like to get that back to where it should be.

Fastenal has every piece of nut, bolt, washer, screw under the sun and if not in stock they can order, BUT being lazy I usually check Amazon first.

I would remove one of the hood scoop screws and measure it with a metric thread pitch gage. Or take it to Ace hardware and match the length and pitch.
As Morris pointed out Mcmaster is the best. But they don't have Metric/Button head/Allen/Stainless screws. (Panhead,Flat, large area, etc...Yes)
Albany does sell what you need though as Indy mentioned.
