Default Missing stereo hex screws, need size

Hi. Thanks to the previous owners, I'm missing a number of screws in my 1988 C4 that are used to attach the HVAC and stereo heads to structure. I think the same screw is used at the top center of the combined switch panel and information center unit. See the attached photos.

These screws, with 7mm hex heads, don't appear to be available from the usual Corvette suppliers. Anybody have a source or, lacking that, sizing information so I can order from a fastener company? The big box hardware stores don't appear to have anything that matches.

Thanks!

Walk into any Ace Hardware and look through their bins. It's just a screw
