I was replacing the heating element on my old Jenn-Air and I lost an important screw. It is a #8 3/8" long blunt-tip hex head screw holding two pieces of sheet metal together. The head fits a 1/4" socket.
Does this type of screw have a name?
Worst case, I will find a sharp-point sheet metal screw and grind off the tip. I can't see what is on the other side, but it might be important not to penetrate too far.
A hex head is desired since they are fairly inaccessible (without further disassembly).

That would be a Hex head #8 3/8" sheet metal screw.
Take your photo with you to the hardware store and find one.
I am not sure that having a blunt tip is a necessity. It is ?
Maybe you can steal one from elsewhere on the unit where it is not critical.
