Looking to confirm size of screws for plastic lock plate. Item #10 in the image.

Phillips heads are rounded.

can't recall the depth, maybe 10 -12mm?
thread IIRC 6mm x 1.25.
The factory book specifies 7 ft/lbs torque.

It’s the most common sized fastener in your bus

After some research I believe the screws is a M7x1.25x13, part number N 090 173 3.

Your local hardware store is going to have a wide assortment of metric fasteners. Just take one of yours in and match it up.

The original screws would have been Philips pan-head screws, but for this and most other applications I will buy flanged hex head bolts which come in a 10.9 strength.

It is listed in "Without Guesswork" as M6 Philips head screw at the bottom of Page 106.
