license plate screws

Nowhere in the US? Call the dealer, call a boneyard or check with a good local hardware store.

Got a "nut-and-bolt" house nearby?

They're probably metric. If the outer thread diameter is a round number of mm that's a good bet.

If so, & most probably is so, take one to your local Lowe's--I've found they have a good selection of smaller metrics Plus a 'checker', or dies to screw yours into until the correct size is found to tell you what to seek in their sealed plastic bag of 2, or 4, etc. Also, if you just wish to secure plates, select the next largest size SAE tap & tap it to use an SAE screw. hth, s

That is odd.I have owned many vehicles before, including three Volkswagens and one BMW Isetta.I never have had any problems about license plate screws. cuhulin

Yeah, you can buy cards of 4 at almost any auto parts place or hardware store, approximately #14 in size, about 5/8" long, with threads to cut into nylon inserts, probably just like what the OP wanted.

If they are "about #14", they are probably 6mm. 5/8 long is a common

COMMENT ... I'd try to get stainless ...

They are M6 X 15. Ace Hardware will stock them, as will any good auto parts store. Use stainless.

Walk around any new car lot and your bound to kick a few that are lying on the ground.
