What screws do I use to direct mount Strat pickups?

I bought a Warmoth Soloist HSS body to replace the body on my HH Carvin Bolt Plus.
What screws should I use to mount the single coils to the body? I don't want to mess up the threads on the pickups, just in case I don't like them and want to try different ones.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The humbucker will be mounted with a ring.

Try and get the ones that are small enough to pass thru the hole.

I just use regular single coil mounting screws and use a drill bit the same size to drill the hole in the body. I can tighten the pickup down all the way without damaging the threading on the pickup's mounting holes.

Thanks guys!
Last night I looked through my Ibanez parts drawer. I found 4 tiny black screws from an old 540R. Looks like they will work perfectly!

I'll post some pics when it's done.
