The TP screws are just generic M2.5 screws I think so get a few in a bunch of sizes and mix and match. I can find the exact screw type in the morning.
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

There's a seller on Fleabay that sells screw sets for the entire machine. No telling if he has a set for yours, but do a search. I can't remember who the guy is, but I bought a complete set for a T500 for a few dollars.

Have you searched for them on Amazon? I ordered it there. By the way, the quality was terrible, and they didn't last a year. So at your place, I would research and choose a company that sells high-quality screws and has great reviews. Believe me, the cheapskates pay twice, and if you want a thing that will last long, you should go and research first. After they fooled me, all the things related to the screws I bought only on https://www.scrooz.com.au/fasteners/wall-plugs/ because it has amazing reviews, and I see how gentle it is and safe they pack all my things for delivery. There wasn't a case when they lost or broke something, so I trust this company 100%.

The Hardware Maintenance Manual for your model will tell you exactly which length screws you need.

He's probably found them after four years...

Ah - I was responding to that other recent message. What a waste of bandwidth.
