For anyone who cares, the correct seat-rail screw size is: M8 x 1.25 x 20 mm length. I'm using 16 mm, which is sufficiently long. These are $14.95 for a pack 50 (stainless steel) at McMaster Carr.

As to cam lift, here's a drawing of it, courtesy of Gordon Raymond; sorry about it being sideways, but the lift is calculated as follows as depicted on the diagram: T+S-U.
