hey stalin i am not sure if my bird has the same ones or i would tell ya what size they are. i have seen your car in ankeny and if this is where you live go to fastenal on shurfine drive. they are open mon-fri 7-5. eather Jeff or Brian should be able to tell you what seze they are provided you have atleast one left that they could see. most things here are sold by the bag (of 100 for something this small) but if they have any bulk boxes you may be able to talk them out of something. best of luck to ya.

LOL when did you see my car? Was it around DMACC? I live in Des Moines. You must of seen my car awhile ago cause its been on jacks for the past 6 months (i think) The problem is that i dont have any left (theres only 2) I searched through jar after jar full of screws/bolts to see if any fit and they dont.
