Default Screw Size for Gauge Cluster

hey!

does anyone know the approximate screw size for the gauge cluster?

if you open up the gauge cluster, there is one screw, right in the middle that holds the whole cluster to the dashboard. well, i was doing a led swap and i lost the screw.

can anyone help me out on size or will i just have to go to home depot and grab 10 different screws?

thanks.

Go to ace hardware and find the screw you need for like ten cents. Just take a screw from another side of the gauges to match the threads. At Ace they have a board where you can put in the screw and it tells you the thread gap and the size.
