If anyone is having trouble finding Metric screws (we were fairly certain they were metric, but couldn't find any locally), 3-48 screws seem to work fairly well. We were actually going to Ace Hardware in Sacramento on Thursday when we noticed they sold really small screws, and we brought a motor by to check for size; if you're looking for screws quick, Ace has them.
