Continuity Bellhousing strap screw size

[DoGood]

Can anyone tell me the size of the screw that attaches the continuity strap to the bell housing. I lost the screw during repairs and don't want to buy a $20 kit for a 50 cent screw. Need to know the size, thread pitch, length, etc.

Thanks

Ayuh,... It's a SSteel about 3/16x 1/4" that's self-tapping...
I've never seen 1 like it other than on a Merc myself...

Where do you live? I am sure I have an extra laying around.

excellent, thank you. Can I use something that is similar but slightly larger? Seems like there is plenty of material there and no fear of hitting anything else? Is it a fine or coarse thread bolt/panhead, or is it more like a screw?

I live in delaware. If you can find one I'll buy it from you. PM me and I can paypal you.

I drilled an aluminum rivet out when I did my bellows. When I was done...I pop riveted it again.
seems fine for the number of times it will ever need removal.

I bet I have a million screws here, but nothing fit...stainless or otherwise. it is bizarre.
