Rear dropout chain tensioner screws

Bought a 2nd hand Planet X pro carbon frameset last week and it came without the chain tension screws in the rear dropout. Contacted Planet X and it's not something they sell separately.

Not sure on the size, M3 or M4 at a guess but am I right in thinking I can use any generic suitable length screws?

Thanks

You didn't ask them for the thread size? I'd contact them again. No sense in guessing.

On the two track frames that I have with adjuster screws, they are M4x0.7mm.
