Roy,

Do you have any of the panhead 3/16 inch screws - like those that were 
used on the K2?
If so, why not use those temporaily - they will hold things in place so 
you are not "dead in the water".
I believe all the flathead screws are used on the outside panels, so it 
would not require any dis-assembly (other than removing the screws 
themselves) when your correct ones arrive.
