Rear quarter frame screws

Post by 5portsrock »

I'm trying to find a supplier for the rear quarter frame screws not the ones that join the piano hinge to the car, the frame assy screws. I think they are a 6/32 unc? I've brought a few but all the countersink heads seem to be 90 degrees which are to shallow and then stick out. Any advice appreciated

A work around if they are stainless.. stick them in a drill and reprofile the head on a file. Sorted me out.

I ended up using M2.9 x 6.5 self tapping countersunk screws on my Mk2 rear frames and they were less proud than the original rivets.
