| What size (and kind of) screws are used to hold the engine tin? I searched and couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks. |

I recently bought this set of 50.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EWAIO8/
I figured $7 for 50, not a bad deal.
They come with washers.
They are zinc plated steel so eventually I suspect they will rust, but I have 49 replacements and spares for other engines missing screws.

I’ve still got these from years ago. Some NOS and kept some good used😀
So you had the screws with removable washer then two different styles of fixed washers. Then you got variations in length. I’m certainly not above using bolts in harder to reach areas.
