Default RR AOS Thumb Screw Replacement

Anyone know the size and where to buy replacement knurled thumb screws that hold the RR AOS? One of mine disappeared and I'd like to grab a couple backups.

dam for reals? that's crazy bro. as much as i drive my car daily mine were pretty secure after all but i also have the latest version, i don't know if there is a difference on them. you should email RR or at least ask them for the specs on the screws

Same thing happened to me. Looked at the instructions that came with it and it says they are M8 bolts

edit:
well kind of aggravated now. After couple of trips to home depot, it's not an M8 bolt. It's M5 x 10mm (i got this BOLT.) If u are in a bind or find out in the middle of the night, u can temporarily use a gopro screw but it may be too long. I went past hand tight with the new bolt and will probably use some temp thread locker if it gets loose again.

Yeah I went to Ace trying to find a similar replacement ended up just ordering new ones from RR. I make a habit now of every couple thousand miles checking & re-tightening the AOS & RR tuned intake cover bolts whenever I'm checking oil or cleaning up the car.
