If you really get stuck, and know exactly what you require, PM me as I have a small selection of metric & imperial in my spares kit. I find most of the stuff I get from the US tends to be imperial.

Hi David,

The screws are called 1/4" x 20 meaning... 1/4" diameter x 20 teeth per inch............. they are not metric treads. since the plate is 1/4" thickness I would use about 5/8" length and then perhaps a flat washer...the heads can be slotted, Philip, or allen...it really does matter as long as the treads match.

Ken...
