That's helpful for finding the right screw, but any idea how to fix the nuts that have snapped off?
Remember that the measurement is from the max mating surface (tip) to contact surface or the overall length. Therefore, with flathead screws, it is not the length of thread, it is from the end of the screw to the flat/surface (top) of the screw. This is obvious by process of elimination.

That makes sense, I should have gotten out my calipers
If you measure the screws' length with a millimeter scale, you will find there are two sizes, a longer one and a slightly shorter one. Use the shorter one and it will work OK. Just because a screw happens to screw into the thread does not mean it is the right screw.
The parts list that comes with the radio shows this, there are two screw sizes but of two different length. Time to break out that millimeter scale.

I was attaching the screen and the screws weren't sitting flush and the bottom two nuts snapped off as I tightened. Is there anyway to repair? The screen isn't loose but I'd rather those not be snapped.
