What is the screw size for the screw that holds the lower radiator apron to the front motor mount on a 26-27?

I believe it's the same screw size and design that holds the inspection door on the transmission

That button head machine screw for the '26-'27 radiator apron with the 3075D spring clip/motor mount with the threaded hole is Fac. # T-8004. The size is 1/4 x 20 x 3/8" long. Some times a washer is needed under the screw if the hole in the apron is worn larger.

The hogshead cover door screw is also button head, but larger, as it's 5/16" x 18 x 3/8"
