Default Screwed

Hi all, I've got my crazy lil micro here but i've found I need two of the screws need to be slightly longer - But I cant find what type of screw it is.

It seems to be M3 thread.. but comparing the screws to my D4 - which are also M3 the D4 screws seem slightly wider and have a slightly bigger thread. Which way in the sizes of screw do i go? I assume M4?

M3. i.e. 3mm in girth, i think the M stands for Machine rather than Metric - but whichever you call it, its a metric machine screw. So to go smaller you need a smaller number.

I don't mean smaller like this "M3" vs "M3"

I think you will find they maybe 2.6, M stands for metric, these ones are Metric Fine.
