Screws for Nose piece

Hi,
I just got my '65 convert back from the painter. It's Black Cherry Pearl and looks nice! However, when I disassembled it for the painter, I took off the nose piece to be painted separately. Now I want to install it and noticed that there are no mounting screws that secure the front edge of the piece. I don't recall taking any off but I would like to put some on to hold down the front edge.

Does anyone know the size of those machine screws? They are NOT #6, #8, nor #10. One hardware store suggested that I retap the holes to #10 and use standard screws but that is going to be my last resort.

BTW, the screws are the same size as the T-screws that hold the weatherstripping to the convert top above the windows.

Thanks,
Ken
