I believe they’re 8/32 UNC.
#8 thread diameter (0.16 inches)

If you want to replace or upgrade them go for stainless steel.
Looks as good as chrome and will not rust :idea:

If using stainless steel, dab a tiny bit of anti-seize on threads to prevent galling. FWIW Pat

Nice! First time I’ve seen a comprehensive list of all the hardware required.
Someone should put that in the Tech Wiki.
