Well, notsomuch.
The clip nuts are generally Metric #508 referred to as "M5". And the
screws then are the matching Metric M5 screws, oddly 1 inch long. These
are the silver or brass colored 'smaller' mounting screws used by many
rails.
If you like the slightly larger nice black, what we call 'Exhibit "A"'
screws (Hex, Phillips AND slotted head) those are M6 size and the clip
nuts are M610.
DO NOT buy 'cage nuts' as they are for 'square hole' racks. We of course
use 'Round Hole' racks and 'Clip Nuts'.
WARNING. Often vendors will sell you SAE 5-32 nuts for the M508s as they
are very close. They are NOT 'Close Enough'.
Sadly I haven't found a consistently good source but they are available
on-line if you search for M508 or M610 clip nut.

Is there a source I can point them to? I don't know exactly which parts needed.
