Just received in the mail a replacement igniter and igniter cradle. I removed these items from my Harman XXV a few years back and have been running in manual mode since. Unfortunately I don't know where the old parts are so I could reuse the screws that hold these items on the burn pot. Anybody know what size screw/bolt to use?
 
I'd try a couple of 1/4" drive Zip (sheet metal) screws. They should clear the holes in the burnpot & grab the holes in the cradle securely.
If they don't, go up one size.
 
I would call the seller of the parts you just purchased and ask. Would these fasteners need to be made from a high temp stainless steel?

No, they aren't stainless.They are commercial steel fasteners.
If I was home I'd pull one out of one of my Harmans & give the
OP a definitive answer on the size.
 
So far through Google and this site they have a 5/16" head. I can take the cradle down to the hardware store and test some bolts to verify but I was hoping that someone had a definitive answer.
