ACU-100 Cover Screws

I had an issue with the AP while single-handing (yes I know). And in flagrant violation, ducked below a few seconds at a time to check it out.

Long story short— fixed it. But it seems by boat ate the two cover screws. Anybody know what size those are? Metric?

Thanks

A warning from the future......

Take the one you have left to the store and buy 3 or 4 more. Or one day you will drop that one and be posting on the internet looking for the size!!!

Solved! They are M3 screws. I got M3-50x20 and snipped about 1/8” off. Tried putting a self-locking nut on the bolt inside the cover as a keeper, but there wasn’t room.

Now have 10 spares- sure sign I will never loose another bolt
