Default License Plate Screw

Random question..but anyone know what the exact size screw the license bracket on the Z is threaded for? Im trying to find a torx screw to hold on my plate/backup camera so its harder to steal...

Yeah, the problem is no one sells torx or security screws that I know of (went to homedepot, pep boys, Kragen, and Lowes today) so I gotta buy it online...so I need the measurements. Anyone know? Thanks!

You also have to factor in the thickness of the frame. I bought security bolts at pep boys, they are 1 inch in length. They would work on a regualr license plate but not a thick license plate frame like I installed. So I would say you need 1 inch plus the thickness of the camera frame and plate.

The license plate screw is a M6 with a 1.0 thread pitch.
