GSO RC8 Focuser screw size

Hi guys, after taking apart the focuser to measure bits and pieces for an autofocuser build, i seem to have misplaced the 4 screws at the bottom that holds the plate for the focuser. Does anyone know what sizes these are so i can pop over to bunnings to buy replacements?

Thanks,
Tony

I found out what the screw size is by using a good ol' vernier caliper aha. BUT looks like i lost other bits and pieces that makes it work. Oh well, goes to show how important being organised is when taking apart gear. That's a $100 mistake I won't make again
