MAS Adapter to MAS - Screw size?

[misterskeetz]

Everything was fine on the uninstall of the factory air box. The 4 screws that attach the air box to the MAS are attached to the air box. After some toying with it, it is now obvious to me that those screws aren't coming out. The adapter did not come with 4 new screws to use to bolt up the adapter to the MAS. I called the people that I purchased the adapter from and they said it isn't supposed to come with hardware and they aren't sure what size screws I need. I would have just taken the nut that attaches to the screw but I need to drive my car. Does anybody know what size screw I need?

actually the screws on the stock airbox do come out you just gotta hit them with a hammer. problem is they aren't long enough to fit. anyway..just hit one of them out and then take it to ace hardware or walmart or whatever and just get some screws that are similar size.

Thanks. I was jammin on them with a hammer and all it did was start to flatten them out. I want to keep it functional due to CARB issues. I guess I can just take a nut off in the parking lot and bring it in for reference.

Filter and adapter now installed. Took the car to home depot and popped the hood and took off one of the nuts. Brought it in for sizing. Screw is #12-24x1" with coarse threading. They come with nuts as well but the stock ones are better. Cost me a dollar for 5.

Car now has a very pronounced growl when boost starts hittin'. I can hear air being sucked in and my BOV (stock 2g w/ leak at 9psi) sounds 2x as loud as it was before. Being my first mod, I am juiced. Love the sounds. Next up is hardpipe for intake.
