Instrument Cluster Rear Screws
What size are the small sheet metal screws on the back side of the 1967, C2 instrument cluster that hold the three pods (Speedo/tach, fuel/battery, oil/temp) to the main panel? I have some missing and multiple sizes.

As I recall they are 1/4"
I used an Xcelite mini nut driver set to work with those screws with cluster still hanging in the dash.. To hold and start the screws back in to the cluster, when I couldn't get enough fingers back there to hold a tool and the screw, I stuck the screw head into a piece of clear flexible plastic tubing cut about 1 1/2" long. Holding the tubing with the screw in it is much more easy.

I like the tubing idea. That's a neat trick. The screws do have a 1/4" head but are they a particuliar size that i can purchase? Mine all have 1/4" heads but are different lengths and type.
By the way, this is a 1967, C2
