    Sue, don't be critical about the thread pitch, it's not a machine thread.

    Just find sheet metal screw that is slightly larger in dia. and as long as you need. If you want it black, pick up a rattle can of flat black and be done with it.

    Sounds like an easy idea. The OEM is 6mm, so I'll look for a 7 or 8?
