68C Cabriolet Door Pillar Screws
A few days ago the Ford Barn helped me out with information the special screws at the top of the door pillars. I have found them and here is the information on where to find them at the Bolt Depot.com, 100 Research Rd., Hingham, MA 02043:
#3633 Machine Screws, Slotted Oval Head, Stainless Steel 18-8, 1/4" - 20 x 2 1/2 in. @ $0.97 #3643 Machine Screws, Slotted Oval Head, Stainless Steel 18-8, 5/16" - 18 x 3 in. They have very smooth heads but I plan to polish them with a buffer. Ed |

They are too thick. You need to be sure they have clearance for the use. They do not look right. If you look at the originals they come down to a pointy edge. The new screws are rounded. I chuck them up in a battery operated drill and use a file to reshape the heads close to factory. Then I use sandpaper to get the proper finish for the use. Some were polished so to I went to 1000 grit and buffed. The door post screws I left at like 400 so paint has something to stick to. |
