Due to ineptitude on my part
If anyone has parted out a Lexus recently and still has some screws knocking around I'll send you some beer vouchers in exchange for a few. They are 20mm long, combined Philips / hex heads with captive 20mm washers, and they have quite a deep thread. They have a black finish and are incidentally rust free after 10 years of British weather!
I've checked a few places like Halfords and B&Q for similar screws but they don't sell anything that looks like it would last longer than 2 weeks without rusting to bits.
Thanks
