That was with plastic screws. A couple of them snapped, the remainder held and broke the screen. That is the MM tall screen, which is a bit thinner than the Yam one.
IMO the Halfords, Oxford, etc alloy screen screws are nearly as bad as the plastic ones for rounding as soon as you wave a screwdriver near them. I've now got some steel ones that used to be fairing screws on a ZZR1100 I broke for parts years ago.
