Canadian hardware?
 

Is there any source for Canadian built Model A hardware. Do not care if it is nickel plated or not, just want it to look right. I have been using Phillips to replace the missing screws but not a good match.

Search for Robertson Screws https://www.robertsonscrew.com/products/

Searched and found nothing but sheet metal type or forming type threads. Robertson screws.

I also have a Canadian Model A and have had no problem getting Robertson screws, Just search the normal Model A suppliers. Bill

I've found McFeely's to be the best source for Robertson screws.

Just saw what you are asking.
I’ve gotten all the Robertson screws from an outfit back east for my Canadian 31 Vicky.
Their name is Dixie Upholstery. Don’t have the address, but here is the phone number.
1-(519) 748-1648
They are a small family business I think.
Good luck.

I have used Bolt Depot. They have a lot of slotted screws in an assortment of materials.

I use Bolt Depot also. Great place to get various bolts and screws without having to buy in bulk like from McMaster-Carr.

I didn’t see any Robertson hardware tho.

I own an early 1928 tudor and have purchased many parts from Dixie Upholstery. They have packages already assembled containing screws etc. for the various Canadian model a bodies. Gene and helpers are always willing to give advise.

Yes I bought mine through old car centre in British Columbia. They may have to order it but also try Snyder's Antique Auto. I just restored my early Canadian Model A Tudor to 95 per cent authenticity.

Good Luck!

I got my Robertson screws from Mike's. Those were for the interior. I bought the dash ones on eBay from a fellow in Canada. I bought my "general" Robertsons from McFeely's (search for Stainless Steel Square Drive Machine Screws).

The one screw I haven't been able to find was the Size #12 for the floorboards. Size #10, yes, size 1/4 yes, but not #12. I've found them in boxes of 1000, but that's a bit too many for what I need. :)

After establishing a collection of Robertson screws, I discovered my Australian Tourer (Phaeton) didn't use Robertson screws. Sigh...

What makes you think it didn't use them?

Re: Canadian hardware?
 

Only Canadian cars and trucks used Robertson screws and hardware

The Australian Ford factory was owned by Ford of Canada.

Re: Canadian hardware?
 

The reason I ask, is that I spent a fair bit of my early life wondering what those weird screws were.

Re: Canadian hardware?
 

Robertson hardware was not used exclusively on Australian Model A's even though the Australian Ford factory was owned by Ford of Canada.Aussie A's could have also used Phillips hardware or whatever the Australian factory could source at the time
