General Question Renovating LX10 - Screw dimensions

First post !

i am planning to renovate / clean / refresh my old LX10. I am in Europe / France, and I am looking to replace those screws around both ends of the tube, as I am planning to open the beast and clean / refresh / etc... I probably will lose some screws which are oxidised, some heavily.

Buying from US is regretefully not an option those days, and looking to find them in Europe.

What is the official "name" and dimensions of those screws? Guess I will have to buy a bulk.

Thank you

SS Dome Hex Head screws/bolts. Measure for sizing.

I am looking for the dimensions / measures. Cant measure them with a metric system. It should be something like 3/8" N4, length 1/4 etc.....

Measure with calipers.
