Rear license plate screw/bolts

Anyone know what the size/length is of the screws/bolts for the rear license plate? I have a 99 E320; any pics of screw?

Thanks

Dominic

Do you think that measurement is the same for a 2001 ML320 SUV?

I just got mine used from a dealer and there was no license plate or screws for attaching my new plates.

Thanks!!

Double-sided foam tape.
Surprising how much 'neater' it looks

Cool I had trouble finding them

at hardwre stores, in STAINLESS STEEL with the correct thread size and count listed in the post. I found them at, of course, a boat store ( West Marine Products ).

Careful WM has pan head 1/4 28 by 3/4, and the aluminum riv-nut that mb uses will tolerate that SAE size to about 4 inch pounds then strip out.
I have not seen metric fasteners at WM but I guess stores vary.

Having several vehicles and RV, I'd say getting stainless steel beats everything else.
Owning a motorhome I keep wondering why they used galvanized screws for all outside latches and brackets? For $4 saving the owners few years later have constant issues with it.
We have several ACE hardware places in our county with good selection of SS and other fasteners. I even got metric fender clip for my John Deere tractor.
