These are the ones that secure the metal trim on the windshield pillars and rear of the cabin that in turn hold the seals in place;

Countersunk-Head Screw, 911 (66-67) Part Number: 999.148.005.0E are $10.09 each. Yeah, not feeling that.

Anything that makes these 5x15 Countersunk Screw so special I can't try to find something similar from McMaster Carr?

The front trim piece for reference is #27 here.

Anyone been there and substituted that?

Thanks!

I think I got those from Belmetric, in stainless.

Those screws are not countersunk. You could use countersunk, but may actually make it harder to find.

I also got mine from Belmetric

Thanks gentlemen, appreciate the info.

Are they actually sheet metal screws, with a pointed tip?

Or like this

That is not the correct style or size screw. I will check the correct size and i probably have new ones on hand. It is an oval head screw.

The correct screw is a 2.9 x 10 oval head self tapping screw. I removed one to confirm. PET shows a 13mm lenght but they ofter superceed hardware part numbers to more common parts that will also work. I have them. You need 18 to install all four trim pieces. The original screw is on the dime.

I've purchased a lot of screws in many different sizes from there. I used all black oxide on the car as well.

Thanks gentlemen, appreciate it.

Looks like some vendors have their cross-reference totally wrong.

These come in a minimum of 100 from McMaster so if anyone needs some let me know!

I gave the wrong description. They are pan head not oval which are countersunk.

1- you can get them from amazon/ebay easy.

2- the 4.2 cross references to a #6 iirc, so the 2.9 might be a #4 or something super common.
