Default License Plate screws?

The simplest of questions. But I don't want my vette looking like a barnyard vehicle of miss matched parts.

What is the size of the screws which hold the license plate on? I tried to install mine yesterday and the screws were missing. I don't want to shove just anything in there.

I have to mount the front plate if I want my base access stickers.:

You can probably pick some up at Wally world, or any auto store with or without the chrome covers

Have a couple of 1/4" by 3/4' screws from Kragen. Haven't tried them out yet.

They are 1/4 - 20 threads. By coinsidence I just got back from the hardware store where I bought stainless steel allen head screws to replace mine. They need to be 1/2 " long.
