What kind of screws for kurt vise

I just got a pair of vise jaws for my 6" Kurt clone.
Holes in jaws seems to be huge. A head of hex screw for this thread size too
small and
goes right through the hole. Washer for this thread size are too big. What kind
of
screws are supposed to used with Kurt vise jaws?

Normally, SHCS's. (Socket head cap screws).

That's what I thought. But vise has 3/8-16 thread and jaws has through holes .55" in diameter. Regular 3/8-16 socket head cap screw has head less than that.

Kurt uses 1/2-13 socket cap screws.

Obviously this Kurt clone maker decide to use smaller screw size rendering all standard Kurt jaws useless.
