Clayton,

The 10/32 screws may perhaps fit but the Russians use the metric system.
The screws are standard M5 (5mm).
I'm sure you can get these in most hardware stores in the states.
I recommend using the original screws.

My caps also didn't have any screws.  I used 10/32 screws that worked great.
Be careful to use the correct length.  I had one of the threaded ends come
loose.
I had the reheat it and worked great.  I did the mod and the tuner works
good.

I ordered 4 caps directly from the Ukrain.

They arrived yesterday - 12 days after I ordered them.
Look good, but no screws.

The screws are standard "M5".
I ordered a pack of 25 screws on ebay for a few bucks.

I paid $29.05 including shipping for the 4 capacitors.
