For four screws that you do once every blue moon if you are lucky (and if you run multiple diffs) - don't bother.
You could try to find a 2mm ish machine screw instead of a self tapper, but you would need to get a very small tap suitable for plastic also. Not so easy.
The xray t4-15 screws are 2.5mm (but 6mm deep not 8mm) and pretty sure the BD7 screws are about right - you could try and get them to fit perhaps if you really wanted to.
It all honestly, it's an "annoyance" not a "problem"
Maybe Naoto will loose his shit the first time he has to build one and they'll fix it

Maybe Naoto will beat me to it though

Let's go. No time to waste.
Seriously though I am headed out again tomorrow for some testing. The 419 for me was very stable on the straight. Didn't wonder at all, was not twitchy like the 418. After a day thinking about it I wonder if it was the new Dart body so I am anxious to put the Speed6 back on like I ran with the 418 and see if it is the car or the body making that difference.
Also will be trying some other things. The lay out was brand new at our track so traction was not great. They are having an F1 race today so traction should be back to normal Sunday.

They have only just released them.
I emailed them direct and they got a kit together for me in advance of them being ready to ship
They have a list of distributors on their website.

No one has them in stock yet though as they only just this week decided what to include.
I emailed Hiro Seiko in late December and said "I'd like the following screws for a 419 - can you help?"
They replied they were due to release them in January but would sell me one in advance.
Pretty sure they will be 1-2weeks away from sellers.
