Throttle plate screws

Hi all,
While removing the screws that holds the throttle plates in place, I buggered up the Philips heads. They need to be replaced. Can anyone tell me the size and pitch of the screws? They appear to be 3mm X 8mm screws. My assumption was that the screws had a .5 pitch but when I checked the threads out with a .5 pitched 3mm nut it didn't match. The hardware store didn't offer any other pitch for that size of screw.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Just a follow-up comment for those that may search this topic. The plate screw is indeed 3mm x 8mm with a .5 pitch. My confusion came from the threads on the end being buggered up.

Separately, in case anyone cares the spacer on the jet pilot screw next to the spring is 3mm ID and 5mm OD.
