Anyone got a vandyvape pico2 squeeze 2021/6 and a vernier?

So I was drilling a hole in the magnetic backplate to house an AirTag (which worked well btw) but I took off the inner backplate because I wanted to drill that too (didn’t need it) It’s held on with 6 torx t4 screws, and they got lost. Anyone with a mod of the same model can measure the screws (they’re metric :/) in particular I need to know the length and diameter. I found some screws on aliexpress that look a lot like them but they come in several sizes.

It depends on the type of threads, in this industry there are very few who use metric threads, and even fewer who use UNC&UNF.
Most of the screws are super cheap and are nothing more than the fact that they are used in soft metal where the screw itself threads up during installation instead of the classic threaded pin.

If, on the other hand, it is metric, you must measure the outside measurement of the screw to know the dimension, and then a thread measuring tool to know the thread pitch.
On small screws, it is not abnormal to have a couple of thread pitches per dimension.

Yep. This is what I can’t do until I find one. They looked metric but I guess that doesn’t mean they ARE metric, though the closest ones I could find on Ali express were metric, so I suspect it’s likely. If worse comes to worse I suppose I can use tooth pick ends as pegs, but I’d’d rather not have to.

I was hoping some one had one, could remove a screw (it’s t4) and measure it. Theyre quite tiny, so a vernier is more useful than a ruler (they’re somtimes called micrometers but they’re not) they look like sort of an f.
