Gary - they are 8-36. I have 10-24, 10-32, 8-32, as well as smaller sizes and
none of them work. I have one screw that appears to be an number 8 and has 36
tpi, and it screws in all 4 holes that hold the toggle clamp. So unless
there is a very close BA thread (I tried 1 and 2 BA), I am pretty sure is it
8-36 I need. This thread form is available from a few suppliers, but so far,
I have not found it in stainless (or chrome) oval Phillips head. However, I
am still following up on a few leads - and then there is also Old Blighty to
turn to - land of the weirdest thread forms know to humans.
Thanks for replying - to John and Bill as well.

I don't see those screws listed in the copy of the hardtop parts book I
have, but I would think that they are 10-32 screws. This size is readily
available at local hardware stores in stainless & chrome plated, Phillips oval
head. You might need to run a tap thru the holes to clean them up. I would not
try to change the size of the hole.

Stainless would be fine as it can be polished up.
