Default 63 headlight cover screws

Looking for correct length and style screws that hold on the headlight covers on a May built 63. These go into the headlight cover from the top front corners not the top sides as later models, then lower are short probably common across the years. .

Judging guide only states that up thru VIN14600 that these are black oxide philips screws, but does not specify size or length.

looking for what length these are or anyone that has these for sale. Thanks. Need 4 long and 4 short for both headlight covers.

If you buy new ones, make sure you contact the supplier and ask them to measure the length of the long ones I’ve gotten them from several different suppliers and they are way too short. And of course they say I’m the first person to ever say there was a problem.

Based on input from Andy Cannizzo these should be chrome, not black and about 1-1/2 inches long. Time to cancel my order with CC. Argh - I hate inaccurate reproductions.
