The screws that came with the stainless divider that I got are too short. The machine bolt/screw is 10-32. The length of the ones I bought from a vender are 1 1/4 long. They appear way too long. The ones I had are about 1/8 too short and measure 1/2. Does anyone know what length I should be looking for?

I bought long bolts of the same size, I think 2 inch, and a nut for each of the holes. Screwed them in with the nut already on the bolt and tightened the nut to pinch the inside plate so that I could compress the system. Left that over night. next day took one out and put the correct screw in, then took another out, replaced with the correct screw and so on. Brian
