Screw sizes

Post by Jonnyb416 »

I'm after finding out the correct size screw I need for the vent covers, sliding door track cover and head light frames. My mate said he could grab me a few stainless screws but I don't have the original screws for reference.

Any help appreciated. Thanks, Jon.

Don't know the original sizes, sorry, but I bought a assorted box of stainless steel self tappers of eBay - job done.
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

They will come in handy with other jobs I have left to do. Thanks.

No.6 (3.5mm) for round headlights, and same works for intake grills although probably no.8 (4.2) origionally being plastic inserts they accept smaller.

length you can work out

Sometimes somebody has fitted a larger screw before as the hole has stripped or rusted out so you can never be sure.
