Thread pitch question

I am starting on restoring my 26 Canadian coupe and I will have to replace all the interior window moulding screws (and probably install a bunch of “nutserts” as well. Being a 26 all the screws are installed into metal and are not sheet metal type. Being Canadian they are all Robertson head. So trying to figure out what thread pitch I’m looking for??
Thank you

My stash of leftover “clinch” nuts (D shaped nut inserts that swedge into the sheet metal) says #10-32 and 1/4”-20. These are leftover from my ‘ol 27 roadster

Most are 10-32, a few are 12-24, 8-32, and 6-32.

If you find a distributor for new correct hardware let me know, I too am working on a late Canadian car. It’s nice finding all the Made in Canada cast onto the parts. Pretty unique amongst T’s around here.
