70-77 door panel screws
« on: November 05, 2024, 12:16:27 PM »
I need to grab a couple (4) of the screws that attach to the door through the lower plastic panel on the two piece panels from 70-77 cars. My current panels have the corners broken off and there are no screws. I have a new set and need the 4 missing screws but I’m having a hard time finding them. They resemble these https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Replacement-Door-Panel-Screw-Kit-for-Camaro-Nova-Chevelle-8-Piece,116302.html?utm_medium=CSEGoogle&utm_source=CSE&utm_campaign=CSEGOOGLE&srsltid=AfmBOorJzAVeu7XMujFejSgoRXBxakfg6lmdayOlsLMpQOORdsXmdf4UZ2g in that they have a conical shaped washer if that’s what you wanna call it but the ones I have are black and longer than these appear to be. Anyone know what they’d be called or have a source? Thanks.

Probably the same source, just saw several of this type. If you need them blackened, leave in rust converter overnight, it removes the plating and blackens. Then drop in a jar of boiling water to shock and seal the acid, then spray with WD40 and dry on a paper towel.

I went to my local mom n pop auto store and they had a box of assorted interior screws for something like $15. There were some in the kit that were a good replacement. I got them in black, although for the 77 I am pretty sure they were originally silver. To me the black blended in better.
