re:T-Handle screw lengths

[Matt Palguta <mpalguta@domain.elided>]

Pulled one of these out of my liftgate and compared at a local hardware
store. The screw is a 10-32 flat head machine screw and it measures 1.5
inches long. Measure the ones at the hardware store. The little bin I
found them in said 1.5 but they were shorter about 1.25 - probably
mislabeled. The screw appears to be stainless steel which might be to
cut down on dissimilar metal corrosion going into the cast handle plate.
Use some antiseize and/or get stainless screws.
