Really daft question here but anyone know what size screw/bolt the little metal clips accept in particular the ones that are used to hold up the matrix/switch to the lower dash.

I have thousands of metric ss bolts from m2 - m10 but none of them fit, are the designed for self tappers?

 

I am into RC models and you can buy ss screw kits for certain models, does a screw kit exist for minis lol!

    Mine is purple, but I have been told that's normal

Virtually all threads on minis are imperial.

 

A-series spares do a kit, but it's a lot of money for what it is.

The ones that hold the front of the heater up go into spire clips for which you'd need appropriate sized self-tapper type screws.
