Identify the screw.

Hi

As per the title I am after 10 screws as the pic but I can't seem to find any but I am unsure of there proper name. I think they are a self taping screw for plastic as the thread is really course and it's not pointed. The diameter is 5mm and its 10mm long with a Philips head. Any links to some on eBay or similar would be good.

They are off a tractor where they hold a bit of plastic on to the mudguard. My brother took the trim off to look at a switch and lost the screws!

Cheers in advance

I reckon I've got some like that which came with some mudflaps years ago, but went in the spares bin when they weren't used.

I'll have a look tomorrow and let you know.

I like to keep it all original. They only screw into a little plastic mounded dimple so want the same thread.

Halfords & euro car parts etc stock them if you need them quickly.

As above that's a threadforming screw for plastic. Find them all over motorbikes.

Had a look for mine, but going on the dimensions you gave, they're some way off I'm afraid.

You'll find something on eBay...just search for 'pozi flange no 10' they probably won't be blunt but you'll be able to pick some up for a couple of quid.

I'd be tempted to have a trip to a breakers yard if you have one local - not sure of sizes but they are often used for under bonnet shields & splash shields.

After many hours searching on eBay with no success I have managed to get them from the dealer for a pricely sum of 18pence each. Many thanks for your help.
