Default mirror screw cap threads

Hi, does anyone know if the mirror screw thread for the cap is
standard ?
If I buy

http://www.midwestdisplays.co.uk/cat...ed1195fc86d51b

can I guarantee it will fix the mirror screws that my glazier will
supply ?
Or will I have to get these first and try them ?

Cheers,
Simon.

Well I've bought loads over the years from different places and often
kept odd ones which I've mixed and matched without ever coming across a
cap and screw combo which didn't fit together.

Personally I would have thought that the fact that these caps are sold
on their own without screws must indicate that compatibility is not a
problem.

But if you're concerned why not tell you glazier that you will supply
the screws and caps yourself and but screws sold by the same supplier?

Well what a totally crap post that was... I meant to delete the above
paragraph when I spotted that the supplier did indeed sell screws, as
per the next paragraph:

But if you're concerned why not tell you glazier that you will supply
the screws and caps yourself and but screws sold by the same supplier?

And finally: --- "buy"

Apologies. Will do better next time.
