Dear all,

as some of you know I have a 47 2 door coupe.
as it is somewhat road ready I started to improve the interior.
when taking of the interior trim around the door windows and the windshield I noticed that a lot of the screws that were used are not the original.
i guess they have been replaced throughout the years by some plywood screws or other zincplated home depot stuff.
is there still a way of finding the original (chromed?) screw or something that looks a lot like it? Maybe in stainless.
ive noticed that these philip screws have a very small head compared to the thread.
hope you guys can help me

joey

 

You can probably go to a local bolt and fastener store that supplies to the auto industry and match some up.

 

Ace Hardware has an excellent source of SS screws, nuts, bolts, washers, spacers, etc. (my preference is SS). Check out Fastenal, as well.

 

I bought an assortment on eBay a few years ago, and it had almost every style I needed to replace the mismatched screws on my 66 project. Here is a link to some of the offerings https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...or+trim+screws

 

Those are exceptionally good prices for chrome screws. At least the set I looked at with 300 pieces:

AMK products is great for 64-72 stuff. Maybe you will find some crossover that will look right in your application. The catalog is quite good with proper descriptions.

 

Take your screws to a fastener store and have them match them up in stainless. Stainless can be polished to chrome brightness and won't rust stain down the road (no pun intended)..... Tedd

 

This is why I prefer SS.

 

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"

Stainless is the key word here, they can still rust.
