69 Rallye Gauge Cluster's 5 Attatching Screws...Specs Please

So, everyone knows you remove the 5 screws to start rocking the cluster out to disconnect wiring etc, but here is yet another of my dilemas...

What is the correct size and length of the screws?

I've got my cluster "refreshed" and I had a mix and match of 4 screws, one of which was so short it didn't even contact the mounting tab from the dash, another measured in at 3"  :rotz:.  I know I could peg it in but I have no idea what is correct...I forgot to mention the four consisted of two pan heads, one round head, and one countersunk, lol.  On the bright side they were all phillips!

So what should it be?  I scanned the board and you always see mention of them for removal and install, but I never found a thread with their specs...

Thanks in advance for helping me out!

The cluster is in, I just lack attatching the speedometer cable and of course "mounting it" with the screws.  I'll post up pics after Chryslers in the Canyon wraps up and I have those media obligations covered...then it will be back to the AutoMeter dash project!

Well, I see I'm not the only one who doesn't know  :lol:

I know it isn't a huge deal as I can get it secured in place, but while it is out I just assumed get things right the first time...

Any help would be appreciated  :2thumbs:

Yeah, maybe lilwendal will know.  This is one of those things most people take foregranted if you've got a matching set of 5...for everyone else it becomes an issue, lol.

Thanks, one of mine might actually match that...I'll get it pulled and spec it out, provided I've got it.
