Looking for black SEMS sheetmetal screws

[FE 065]

My '01 ACR has a screw at the bottom of the panel in front of the door on each side. (earlier models didn't have screws there) It's basically a 1" long sheetmetal screw with a washer included, the whole thing black in color.

The screw measures 3/16" across the threads with the washer measuring 5/8". Hex head (no slot of any kind) 5/16" wrench size to be specific.

There are bound to be alternatives to replace them with exactly the same thing, but for whatever reason I was kind of hoping to just use the same thing..

Can't find them (need 2) anywhere.

Call AUVECO or look online at www.auveco.com

So dip it in some flat black paint or use the torn off end of a paper match dipped in paint after installed

Thanks.. the 2 that were on the bottom are kind of corroded in the thread area-they're the same style hex head sheetmetal screws used on the rest of that panel as it turns out. I think I'm going to have call or email Auveco on them.

I see now that the hex head is 8mm, not 5/16" btw.

I still have my nut setter, and some of rivet nuts left over from doing the '99's sidesill sheetmetal screw replacement thang.. I could always put a couple of the rivet nuts in at the bottom of that panel in front of the door..
