They are a standard metric thread, and are either 6mm or 8mm.

I about 75% they're 8mm. :?
I'll check in the morning, i have a few large headed screws in the garage to replace the ones i lose.
I never check the size because i can just get some more out the store at work when i need them.

spike, the screws from rick are stainless with alloy cup washers stepped to fit the panels like the original screws and hold everything in place without damaging your panels, much better than these kits of the bay etc, a nice finishing touch .

I'm thick, the fairing screws are a 6mm standard metric thread.
I was nearly right.
