Edit, Corrected - The REPLACEMENT screws are plain finish (clear zinc) 1/4" flange tap screws, with a slot in the head. The screw threads are #8 x 5/8". There are nine sets of screws and plastic anchors.

You can buy all the hardware in a kit, though I don't believe they include the U-nuts for the center grill support.

Mine didn't have the slot in the head.

Interesting you should say that, because you reminded me I replaced the grilles long ago and probably ditched the original screws. I don't imagine any of the original screws had a slotted head. Thanks for the heads-up guys. I'll bet those are the same screws used for the gutter and such.

Edit: For kicks I checked my C20 and it has the original screws shown above. Mine are #8 x 9/16". I might have a book so I checked and didn't pull one off my C10, just a lot of 1/2" and a misfit 5/8". Led me to my blower only to find the C20 takes #10, where my C10 #8, all original screws, so I quit looking:metal:
