Screw sizes and types

[gledy2]

Hi, away to do a few jobs and need to replace the screws in the floorpan and the arches, I did a search on the forum and there were discussions on which type of screws or rivets to use. I am going to go for screws but unsure whether to go for zinc or stainless as there seemed to be no conclusion to which is better, especially as the stainless would react with the aluminium. THe main problem i have is getting the right type and size, I have ordered 2 bags of screws and neither are righ. Anyone have a link to the right ones or know the size of them, thanks in advance, allan
