Currently refurbing my rear sliding windows in my 90. I’ve managed to round off 2 of the small csk screws that hold the frame together. Does anyone know what size/thread they are and where I can get some. I have googled them but can’t find them.

Are they not just a standard metric countersunk machine screw? I don’t think they are anything special. See if an m4-m6 bolt will screw in to confirm the thread. (I don’t think they are imperial) and then just order one the correct length.

Do you have a pair of (measuring) calipers ?
Could you put an M4 and an M6 set screw beside yours for scale ?

You could have mentioned that at the beginning ...
I didnt know at the time. I had an M4 bolt which I tried but it was too big. I then remembered I had a thread gauge in a tap and die set

Try a bolt out of a plug(wall)socket. They are a bit smaller
They are quite a fine thread though.
Blowing up your photo it does look very course. It almost looks like a cut down screw or self tapper and not a bolt thread !!!
The one in one of the windows I have just refinished was self tapper. But it looked like a wood screw so I assumed it was not original. It was also in there tight enough I did not bother trying to remove it!
