There should be a head size chart on the BoltDepot or McMaster-Carr site
and the OEM screws I have her in an original horn measure 0.153"-0.155".
Any chart you find if it does not list the odd numbers you can still
figure out which one it is. I just measured a new production brass round
head slotted screw and the head on a #2 size is 0.155" which when
polished and plated will be about as close as you can get. Just the
usual exception to odd number screws ...

When those horns were made the general standard of use was to use the
ODD number screws, 1, 3, 5, 7, etc. The present day common usage is to
use the even numbers, 2, 4, 6, etc. The original screws are nickel
plated brass or steel odd number screws. ODD number slotted round head
screws is not the problem, the nickel plating is. Using electroless
nickel plating kit is the easy way tog et them looking nice and new. Buy
a box so you have plenty and the shipping is a killer so see if you can
stock up.

I need 8 screws in total, 4 for the hanging bracket above the decal and 4
for the wood grained goose neck connector ring. If you do not have any you can
sell me then would you please let me know the size I need and the best place to
get them off the web?
Thanks so much in advance,
Kenneth Keeton
PS; in the mean time if anyone else knows where to get the screws I need it
would be very helpful
