Anybody have any idea on thread type/size and bolt length of these.? They're the countersunk slotted ones that hold the catch to the main body. Not being lazy, just away from home at the moment and want to get some for the weekend. The bolts on mine have seized and the plate moves all over the place. many thanks.

I have metal plates on the back of mine with four nuts welded on, can't remember if that's original or something I made up rather than the fiddle of four loose nuts to hold when tightening?
