Hi,
Apologies for my grammar, I'm dutch.
I just cleaned my maf and throttle body, when disassembling the IAC sensor using a T-20 torx screwdriver it ruined the head of the screw. The others came out alright. I grinded the remainder of the screw head level with the sensor's base and was able to remove the sensor. I was left with half a centimeter of the screw sticking out of the throttle body, removed it with a grip pliers. After the cleaning was done i reassembled the unit and used a screw I had lying around but I would like to put an original screw in place. Does any of you know where to get these (online preferably, I live in the Neterlands) They are about 2cm's long and have an unthreaded somewhat tapered end. Or if have you some lying around perhaps I can pay you to have them mailed to me. I tried e-bay but I'm not sure what search query to use. Thanks in advance.
Below is a picture of grinded screw I'd like to replace.
