I'm doing a full rehab on my 1974 Montauk now and feel your pain. I have removed just about all the stuff and saved the old stainless screws for sizing when I put it all back.
I have spent a small fortune on new SS hardware at Bosunssupply and have learned it is much cheaper to buy fasteners by the 100s than it is to go to HD or the local Hardware store and buy just a few from the trays they have in stock or not. One screw I needed 20 of were $.84 cents each and I bought 100 for $20 at the above supply house.

I'll end up with plenty of leftovers but we always tend to need SS hardware along the way so no big deal. I don't have a local marine supply store here so I have to do it this way and suspect the SS would be just as expensive any where when you don't buy in bulk as I am.

A size chart would be nice to have but I keep a good supply of wood screws handy and can match to them for the correct sizing numbers 8, 10, 12,&14.
