    I'm going to speculate that you are also going to need to know the THREAD Pitch and thus the TAP size of the screws you. Unless they are self tapping, which I doubt.

    Might I suggest you take the "works" to your local, friendly Gunsmith?

    The screw size is 4-40 on the pads from Chip McCormick, Ed Brown & J&J and they are self tapping. Check the ends of the screws and if they have slots cut into the body across the threads they are self tapping. Can't say what the drill size is but maybe someone has a drill chart handy.
