Need Screw Size for Glow Plug Relay Ground Strap, Please!

Greetings!
Could anyone kindly tell me the size of the two screws that secure the ground strap inside the box that contains not only it, but the relay as well? For example, like: 3/8"-17 (this would be 3/8", 17 threads per inch, I believe)
This is only an example to indicate the type of information I need. I'm stranded and in need of these screws to re-attach the ground strap and am right next door to a machine shop - if I can tell them the exact size, they can probably supply them to me. They are metric, no? Thank you in advance for any information any of you can supply!

The chaances are good that the screws are metric. A quick call to your local MB dealer will solve the problem. Otherwise take the relay to a Home Depot or Lowes where they have a fair selection of metric screws and find one that fits.

Thanks!

Thank you, guys; for your suggestions. I'll call the dealer today. When I originally posted this inquiry, the dealer was closed already, so I was unable to get that information. It was kind of a "shot in the dark" -type of inquiry on my part - I was hoping that perhaps someone would know or have access to that type of information on the quick. When I find out, I'll return to this thread to post the information for purposes of closure; and to help those that come after me.
