Use #6 oval head screws - I found black oval head versions at Home Depot so they matched the black rubber pads on the pedals.
Bought a few screw lengths to give me some options when fitting the various pedals - 1/2", 3/4", 1" - cheap as chips - easy to do.
Holds the pedals nicely - I didn't use any of the mounting hardware supplied with the kit in the end.

cdodkin-got your post a little late 
Anyway, I think I did Ok except I broke one of the screws off attaching the brake. Finally got out the broken screw but not before I scratched the pedal a little, oh well! I used flat washer, locking washer and locktite(the blue stuff)and nut with 1.25" screw. Hope it stays on
.
Thanks for the help!
