Socket Head nylon screws, 1/4-20 thread.
McMaster-Carr 95868 A552
0.10 each.
Upside - No more fishing in the belly pan holes to try and find the slot in the screw head.
Downside - This length (2 1/2 inches) is threaded only 1/2 way. You might have better luck their shorter versions. I run a die over these to cut new threads as needed.
Yes, I know the blind nut is backward.
