Default IC-718 carrying handle question

I just bought an IC-718 as a backup rig. My older IC-736 has a
carrying handle attached, and I don't carry that one much, so I
am hoping to transfer the handle from the 736 to the 718. The
spacing of holes etc. is identical on both rigs, but apparently
not the screws. The 736 uses metric 4 mm machine screws - does
anyone know what is used with the 718? If you have the Icom MB-23
handle kit (that's supposed to be for the 718) lying around, I'd
very much appreciate knowing what kind of screws it comes with.
Probably self-tapping ones, but I don't want to ruin the holes
in the radio by using wrong screws. I couldn't find anything on
the Web. Thanks a lot.
