Anyone know the dimensions of the screws used for the TPS in an 06 GT?
After only owning my 06 Mustang GT for a little over a month it has started going into limp mode recently. Thanks to all the information on this forum, I figured out it's a minor issue and related to the Throttle Position Sensor. I purchased a new one but unfortunately the screws they use are complete junk. The original screws both completely stripped on me, despite using a heat gun on them. The new TPS came with a new pair of screws but once again while installing the TPS a screw got stripped. As such, one screw isn't fully screwed in so the TPS is a bit loose. Despite this my problem seems completely fixed. I've done roughly ~200 miles and no issues yet. I'd really like to replace these screws with higher quality ones though. Anyone know what the dimensions of the screws are?
I'd check myself but I mistakenly lost the original screws and I'm afraid I'll only further strip the new screws if I take them off again.

The only thing I can think of is to get some calipers and measure them. I think they are in metric so be sure to read the mm side (I think Ford went metric with he modulars, and common to industry standard, uses 10mm hex heads).
But don't take my word for it, measure it for yourself. And make sure you get the correct thread pitch too.
