Howdie y'all

I was doing a serpentine belt tension adjustment on my '08 M35x and had to remove the black plastic shroud part (under the hood) that sits on top the radiator. It looks like its an extension for the air intake and has a foam wrapped connection that goes into the main air intake. It's held in by 1 screw on either side (2 total) of the part. Anyway, while screwing it back on, one of the screws broke. Ugh.

I don't have a screw/thread gauge. If I was guessing, I'd say that it's a m6x1.0 (10mm, Phillips hex head), 2" long. I was hoping someone here could give me a online source for the exact screw that fits here. I'm current in a remote location, so I don't have many local options.

Thanks in advance for you help!

If I'm understanding your post, can't you just remove your good screw and go to Lowes/Home Depot and use their thread size board?

Like I said, I'm in a remote location and do not have access to a Home Depot/Lowes or even small, ma and pa hardware store.
