Thanks, Theo.
It looks like you put the screw in 13 and 14 in the same place as you took one out in 10 and 11, right?
According to the spec, it's not just an M8...it's a tri-lobular thread-forming, which is a bit harder to find.
I can find one that's similar, but is 37mm long (instead of 28) and is not threaded on the top 12mm. The TSB says not to insert and tighten more than 10m, so the last 12mm of thread doesn't seem to matter anyway. However, I'm worried about the extra length...will there be a clearance issue?
I could insert the screw part way to thread the hole, then remove it, cut off the head, file the edges, and re-insert it to avoid clearance issues, I guess.
