The plan was to take my 70 Vert into the body shop tomorrow, but they are closed for at least another month. With all this time on my hands, I've started prepping the interior. I purchased an interior screw kit from Fusick and I'm not sure where some of these are used. I think 4 of the #1 are for the armrests, and the #2 and 3 are for door panels. The rest ? Any help welcomed.
Your right about the arm rest screws. #3 should be along the bottom of the door panels. #8 is probably the console hold down 4 screws.
there should be one screw for each of the rear panels that threads in the far back corners.
others in that mix are probably the fisher rocker cover screws.
I’m getting ready to install my interior next week so I’ll find out myself what works. —Billy
All six of Number 1 are for arm rests. The fronts use three, each.
Number 2 are for the rear sail panels. Two per side
Number 5 are for your sill plates.
Thanks for the replies, I have a convertible so no sail panels to worry about. I also found out the #10 are for the window sweeps (fuzzies).
Still looking for a place for the black ones (#6 & #7) if anyone can help.
#6 or #7... I think # 7 is for the boot rail (5 screws) and where the piston panels attach to the seat back sheet metal (4). There are door jamb vent screws. There should be screws for the quarter window seal (3 per seal). There should be screws for the upper rear quarter interior panels (at least 1 for each panel that goes through the seal, some cars have additional screws in the panels). There are 2 screws for the rear quarter frame seals. There are screws for the sill plates and maybe the 'vert door shims. It's hard to tell exactly w/o holding the screws in my hand. You should just call Fusick and ask them. You should have received a paper with a list of the locations.
Those kind of screws are kind of special and not easily found, especially in hardware stores. They are usually #8 screws with a #6 head, though you can get them in other sizes, with the small head. These guys carry them ad have good pries. "Chrome Trim Screws with Reduced Heads" https://www.allensfasteners.com/sear...archParamCat=6
#6 and #7 look like the screws that hold the window seals to the convertible top.
I have seen #5, #9, and #10 used to hold the plastic cover under the steering column. My 67 had a combo of #5 and #9 in that little panel, but I think #5 is correct.
#5 screws are definitely used in the sill plates. They are used in other places as well, but definitely 4 each in the sill plates.
Ask Fusick didnt they give you a diagram for what is what?
these are just a guess
#1 arm rests
$2 rear panels or lower kick panels
#3 look like rear seat lower arm rests and rear panels too big for door panels
#9 look like U jam rubber quarter windows
#5 look like door sill and lower door panel screws
