Is there any other common sizes one should have on hand for accidents like I had with the horn screws? I know air cooled Volkswagen is M8s.

Thank you so very much in advance!
EPC is working fine for me..

The screw answer is not simple.
I have horn sets covering 30 years, and at least 14 screw size / thread variations.
The horn wire lug screw appears to have been (to some degree) a horn supplier variable, only required to be a Phillips and fit the wire lug hole.
