yes, 5/16 head but not sure of the thread size, they are the same thread size/pitch as the screws used for other items in the dash, like the ones holding the gauges, headlight switch etc. but they might be a little shorter length.

i have probably a hundred of these screws if you need some.

be careful when testing other screws, if they are too long they will poke through
or dimple the pad.
