Default Throttle / Brake servo problem....

Hey all,
I swapped the standard savage servo for a Hitec HS645MG servo and cannot use the screws that come with it. The one that comes with the servo isnt long enough to go through both plastic servo arms and into the servo itself. It needs to be twice as long, does anyone know what size they are and if so, where I can get one from? Thanks.

the stock screw is an m3x8mm.
for throttle brake you need about a 10mm long(m3x10mm) in the book page 30.
but the hitec 645 is fine thread. the closest is hpi#z543(10mm) or z544(12mm).
pics.
