Fireblade carb screw threads?

The screws which hold on the trumpet and jet covers, what are they?

They're not metric threads and I need some a bit longer so I can hold the airfilter backplate on too.

Not M7,6,5 as I've got all them and none are the same.

May be M4 but I've nothing that small to check with.

I reckon that they are M4, I used that size cap heads in my Kawasaki carb tops.
