Topic: What kind of screws does the SD3 use on the build platform?

I'm using a heavily modified SD3 (about to be even more modified) but I need to know what kind of screws it uses to hold the bed onto the platform. I can't take it apart right now to check so I figured I would ask. I'm using the aluminum platform, not the wooden one.
Basically I am going to replace my heated bed with a PCB from makerfarm. Being that it has 4 holes instead of the SD3's 3 hole bed, I need to make some pieces so it will fit. I want to make them out of steel, but I might just print them, therefore I don't want to tear my printer apart to check what kind of screws it has just to put it all back together so I can print the parts I need haha.
Thanks

Re: What kind of screws does the SD3 use on the build platform?

I found that they are just regular m4-.7 incase anyone else wonders the same thing in the future. I ended up just making the adapters out of steel, the new print bed is much nicer than my old one. I'm pretty sure it was defective or something.
