Avion used #8 x 1" pan head square drive screws to secure the aluminum rail to the edge of the floor. They are usually available at RV centers. Below is a decription of the screw:

Square drive screws were used in production because they were less likely to strip out the head. In your case, a Philips head screw should work just fine.

Thanks. I was thinking of using stainless the last set turner to mulch when they rusted.
