Re: Orignal size
The original screws that I have seen were chrome plated phillips head sheet metal screws #10 x 1" long.

Re: Orignal size
NO they are not #10's, the screws with the backing plates are 1/4-20 and they have an undersized head on them.
And you just don't go down to the hardware store and get them. Quote:
