Panel mount connectors - screw sizes.

Hello everyone,

I am just finishing up modifying my old Atari 7800, I've put an s-video circuit in it and I am very pleased with the outcome. Last thing to do is mount the s-video socket to the chassis, I've basically done everything I need to, drilled holes etc. Now I just need to screw it down. This is the datasheet for the connector I'm using, as you can see, the holes are pretty small maybe about 1/16 of an inch in diameter. Could anyone recommend a screw size?

Cheers :)
 
M2 will go clear through the hole, and M3 will enter (or make) threads in the plastic, or so it seems. (A common chassis screw dimension is 1/8" = 3.2mm btw..)
