Default Miata Gas Tank Cover Screws

Googled the hell out of this trying to find the size. Couldn't find it anywhere so took them into Lowe's and got some replacements. The new ones are slightly longer but still work fine without bottoming out. They are also stronger and less prone to strip like the garbage factory ones. This was on a 99 car, so not sure what years had the same screws, but I would imagine most.

Posting this for anyone else trying to find them in the future.

Pics of the old and new side by side.
