Steering column cover screws

Just got a new steering column cover but I don't have the screws for it. Can anyone tell me the proper size and type I need? I lost the screws I had after breaking the original cover.

There are two kinds. One that fastens the cover to the steering shaft and one that screws the two halves to each other. I dont know what size they are but they have a cone shaped head. Be careful and dont overtighten them as it will easily break the cover.

i will post a picture in a bit of the screws you will need. there is a very coarse screw type. there should be four of these. there's also one short very fine screw you will need to secure the column cover to the steering shaft.

Thanks. Would you be able to measure the length of them for me?

the 4 are big countersunk self tapping screws. same as the ones for the 79-83 center console that divindriver was looking for a month ago.

the other is a pan head but its a machine screw, and it goes in the bottom of the steering column lock
