    Do you recall what the pitch was? M4x0.7? Couldn't find them at Lowe's, where did you get yours?

    I believe the thread pitch was for a standard m4 machine screw. I didn't measure it but the m4 DMC screws fit. Unfortunately, that's not a typical Lowes or Ace item. I got them at a local DIY Mecca.... Skycraft Parts and Surplus. You could call them to see if they still have them. They are a surplus store so their inventory changes. Or you can find them on eBay, etc.

    Also, if you don't have a special tool, you can use a bolt, 2 washers, and a nut to set them.

    Thanks. I found a pack for 4-5 bucks on Amazon. M4x0.7 seems to be popular so I got that. I also needed M6x1.0 for the fan shroud screws.
