I really can't say, if you can't go to a junkyard just find a screw that'll fit.

crap...on closer inspection, the holes are smooth. do you use self tapping screws or do you put washers behind them?

just get a drill and a few fat-ish screws and make grooves, washers are a good idea too.

They were self-tapping screws and had 8mm heads on them.

I've always heard the owner's manual say "Keep your Volvo a Volvo, get genuine parts."

But when it comes to screws and little stuff, I say "rig it!"
