At one point I replaced the DVD drive with an OWC Data Doubler. I have now reinstalled the original DVD drive but can't find the the two original screws that secured the DVD drive to the MBP (as the MBP is upside down and open, the two on the left side of the DVD drive along the slot). The replacement screws fit, but I want to install the original screws before I take the MBP in to Apple to have the broken clip replaced.

OWC tech support doesn't carry OEM replacements and can't tell me the size and length of the original. Does anyone out there have the specs or even better, have a pair they'd like to sell?

Still no luck finding this information. All I've been able to determine is they are #00 phillips head screws, but no length.
 
I found the service manual and it verified the screw length. I also found the original screws. I had mistakenly stored them with some Torx screws.
