85 GSL Door latch bolts/nuts- Anyone got a parts car to help?

I know this should be in the parts wanted area, but a lot of you guys that have some spare parts lying around may not see this..

My drivers side door catch (mounted in the door) is missing 2 of the 3 screws required. I can't find a suitable replacement at any of my local hardware stores and there are NO 1st gens in any of the boneyards around here.

Anyone with a parts car that could spare 2 of these little buggers please let me know..The striker and latch do not line up all the time...so sometimes it shuts, sometimes not. Real pain in the ****..

Thanks!

Victoria British sell the two screws that hold the stiker to the body but not the three that hold the latch to the door.

Maybe you can check and see if they are they the same.

Unfortunately the striker bolts on the door frame are too large and the striker bolts on the hatch are too small..
V. British does not indicate the door latch bolts in their catologue...
Thanks for the idea, however.
