Need help with thread size for screws on the SDS-V body...

Need help with thread size for screws on the SDS-V body...

2011-06-28 by xylofoam

I'm refurbishing my two SDS-V:s and want to replace the old screws for the top/side and bottom lid.
The problem seems to be that the threads are in an old BSF standard.
Is there anyone out there that knows thread size and length for the side and bottom screws?
I've searched for replacements in Sweden but no luck :-(
Also, it would be nice if there were torx head available.

cheers
