 Thanks, that makes sense, I wasn't sure what the recess diameter was.

   Ken,

  None of those three choices would work very well; all three of your
  choices have a head larger in diameter than the bolt hole recess.

  I use SHCS bolts for my restorations. I offer them in stainless, Brite
  zinc or black oxide.

  The problem is the narrow recess the screw head must fit in. Fillister
  head screws are actually purpose-designed for such applications.

  The lens attachment screws used for the OEM Ford tail lights, the USA
  red/red version and the European red/amber version, use M 4 x 25 mm
  Phillips fillister head machine screws with a pitch of 0.7 mm.
  The fillister head is a somewhat uncommon version. Its close cousins
  are pan head and cheese head machine bolts, but the fillister head has
  a smaller diameter.
