Does anyone know where to buy the tiny Torx screws that hold the interior door panels in place? I thought I ordered the right ones from RockAuto, but they are definitely not the correct size (they're massive).

I'd prefer to buy new as opposed to find some semi-rusted ones in the junkyard.

I learned something a couple years ago and have been doing it since. Literally every screw I buy is stainless and if I need them black I use a chemical that turns them black - much like bluing a gun barrel. The name of the chemical escapes me at the moment.
 
is it Hot black oxide?

No. I clean the oil off with soap. Then soak in a muriatic acid solution to etch. Then the blackening solution. Then depending on what they will be used for I may use a sealing solution.

It is some sort of black oxide but it is not hot, room temp.

The name Caswell comes to mind but don't hold that as the truth.
