glendale Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 i need to buy some new screws for my 51 plymouth where should i look? Quote
Normspeed Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Which locations, window garnish moldings, or? If it's not a full restoration a good hardware store will have some good choices, maybe even in stainless. Or there are the big online stores like McMaster Carr: http://www.mcmaster.com/ kind of a hardware candy store for big kids. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Auveco carries the specialty screws that some of the trim pieces need. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 you need special screws for the 51/52 at the garnish molding..it has a special name and dang but it eludes me now. what you have is a size 8 body with a size 6 head..to put a standard 8 in place wil damage the molding should you try to crank it down to seat the head as the head is larger than the stamped recess. To insert a size 6 and it will not tighten properly due to the smaller screw body. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 https://www.auveco.com/b2b/Auveco/ecom/ecomCustomer/voice/voice.aspx?page= thats the company that should have these. Looks like they themselves don't sell to the public so you will have to find a distributor. At home I should have the name of the place I ordered seat upholstery clips for my pickup from. Quote
oldmopar Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Give Restoration specialites a call them have a large selection of small parts http://www.restorationspecialties.com/catalog.htm Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 I bought the ones of which I speak from them at a swap meet..they do have a special name but Restor. Spec. just list them as stainless steel Phillip Oval head and list body size 8 with head size of 6... 1-814-467-9842 another source..see how listed 8 size and 6hd size.. http://www.oem2fasten.com/oempdf/screws.pdf Quote
Johnny S Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Tim, I think you are looking for the name: "chrome phillips oval - Jackson (undersized) head" . You can find them either in chrome plated or stainless. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Thanks a lot...Jackson head screw..that's the ticket...could not remember that at all...I know my 51/52 garnish is assembled with these Jackson head screws..the 8 size head will crown (protrude) above the molding and if you try to crank it down will distort your metal..damage the paint etc...

Guest rockabillybassman Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Dang! I've been trying to find those here in New Zealand, and even the speciality places have'nt seen them before. Quote
JerseyHarold Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Never knew that the interior garnish screws in '51-52's were special. I got curious and did a search for Jackson head screws on Google. There were a whole list of results. This is the first one I clicked on: http://www.msc-stainless-fasteners.com/materialsearch/mscproducts/specificproducts/jackson-screws.html Live and learn! Quote
