Does anyone have the "screw size" of the "Stock Hold downs"?

I've lost my original screws, and have some not so good ones in place.

Thanks!

Of my two vans I have 1 or two covers and neither are in use in my
working van.  One of the covers has a huge arc mark where it touched
positive.  Both of my batteries are secured with the stock hold downs
thought!  I hope not having the covers in place will not kill me as I
sleep in my van.
