I'm talking about the two at the bottom that screw in at about 45-degrees. What was stock? The thread pitch I figured out is 10-32 by maybe 1/2" to 3/4" long but what kind of head? I've tried tapered flat, oval and regular old pan head and none of them are really working for me looks-wise. Not that it really matters way down there but if I can get the original style I'll go with that.

Curtis, they were zinc plated pan headed (curved headed) phillips screws.  Short, about 3/8" long or so. The screw heads were not flush with the valance, they did stick up a bit slightly.   :cheers:

Nah, not unless it's really convenient. I'm just going to get some pan head screws, proabably 1/2" stainless ones, put those in and be done. I've already wasted too much time on this.
