Default Lid speaker install

I got my aftermarket speakers and ordered speaker grills and mounting screws for speakers but mounting screws are on backorder until the end of the month. These are the longer screws that hold speaker in place. Where can I get some screws that will work?

I'm in the middle of this project, too. Screws aren't special.

You will, however, have to cut your baskets for aftermarket speaker magnets. Just FYI.

They have to have high-low threads since they are tapping through plastic.
