Anyone know what sort of screw one could use to replace the small screw that attaches the heat shield for the lower coolant house to the thermostat housing? Yes, I dropped it and it appears to have gone to the upside down. Sad

Being SAE it's not an exact match, but a #8 x 5/8" hex-head sheet metal screw will do the job.
