Default Hardware (Screws) Dimension Specifications?

Is there any online resource with technical specs on various screw dimensions?

I need some (8) of the screws that attach the headlight bezels, and would prefer to pick them up locally vs paying 12 bucks and waiting weeks to get them from the online retailer I located.

For what it is worth, thse are black, coarse threaded screws that appear to have a pan head. All else fails, I will go through the guessign game and find a size that works with trial and error, but I though these might be defined in a TSM or something somewhere.

Thanks.

Less than ideal option for me, but thank you.

The headlamp bezel screws are a common size - I think they're #8 Teks screws, but you should be able to find them at any local parts house in the HELP! section. I've been trying to gather data on fastener sizes, and posting it on my site in the Tech section as I manage to round it up. Anything you find out would be appreciated!

I know that this will sound kinda ghetto, but use deck screws. I did, and have had no new rust or corrosion problems since. They fit just fine, I think the length was 1 or 1.5 inch. YMMV...

So, why hasn't your exchange thread been updated since 2009?

Because nothing's been exchanged. I don't expect it to move quickly - at least, not at first.

I had a couple of CJ parts come in recently, I just need to clean them up before I add them.
