[@lewismrotzek1115]

What size screws?

[@fanboysforever]

It depends just a little bit from year to year on vintage Joes. Best bet is to take a sample into a hardware store and try and have someone match it up for you. It can be difficult because most mass produced screws have a head that's a little too big for a Joe back socket. I usually just try to harvest them from otherwise useless parts figures.

You seem like stickler with condition but your willing to put newer accessories on vintage Joe's? Sacrilege!!! Just kidding
