What hardware is used to attach external sun visor to the A pillars?

What hardware is used to attach external sun visor to the A pillars?
There are 2 holes on each side.
Also, there are 7 holes for what must be wood screws into the top wood.
I tried searching "visor" here and at the vendor site. Ford Service has no entry in the index, nor does Ford Owner.

This is an original sunvisor on my 1926 Fordor. I hope this helps a little. Jim Patrick

Oval head sheet metal screw with countersunk washer, like Jim shows.

Thanks for the link.
I have the original style visor.

The washers look like escutcheons, all 7 underneath and the 4 on the sides.
Not machine screws for the sides, got it.
The holes are 1/4" on the visor but I did not measure the A-pillar holes though they look smaller.

Appreciate seeing the visor cover photos as I am missing the two inner corner brackets.
The paperwork shows the dimensions how to remake them.
I am also missing the two tabs but can weld on new ones.

So, what size works (four side screws)? #10, #12, #14, 1/4" ?

Thanks
