Screw Size

Does anyone know the screw size that holds the throttle body butterfly in place? Maybe a possible source. Its for a 2008 C14 ABS.
 
M3 x .5.
I bought 8mm long. They stick thru about 1mm.
Flange head, socket head. Couldn't find a Phillips head large enough in dia to use without a washer. The Allen socket seems small but I got them tight enough so that when removing them that they made a snapping sound. Final install was with red loctite.
From mcmaster carr.
This is for the secondary butterflies. I assume the primaries would be the same.
 
Thanks, I'll have a look. I started looking around the house and found screw on an old CD drive that fits. Its long and doesn't have a flange so I'll check out McMaster.

Checking the size. Are you sure its M3 x .5 , I'm looking at sizes and believe its probably M3.5. M3 x .5 not showing up in McMaster.

These have been holding my butterflies since 2015. But you can believe what you want.
