Steering wheel shroud (lower) screw sizes

Good morning - does anyone know the sizes of the two self-tapping and one single set screw that hold the steering wheel shroud on the 3rd gen RX-7? The shop put it back together and never returned my screws. I had some self-tapping #10 screws that appeared to work for the front two but correct me if I am wrong...Thanks in advance.

There should be 2 machine screws and 1 self tapping screw. The machine screws are metric thread, probably M4 or M5.

May want to contact some of the guys that part out cars, may be able to get those screws from a part out for a few bucks. Finding the right screws at a local hardware store would probably be difficult.

I bought them brand new from Ray Crowe a few months ago, give him a call if you plan on ordering a few more parts.

Thanks; I actually reached out to Ray and, you're right, he had them but I wasn't ordering anything else at the moment and the shipping made it cost prohibitive. I went out to a local Fastenal. The rearward screw is a machine screw, m5. The front two screws appear to be the self-tapping screws.

You are right, there are 2 self-tapping and 1 machine screw. I had it backwards in my post.

The self-tapping screws are similar to other screws that hold the interior together.
