Search wasn't helpful... source for the thick head factory sheet metal screws ?
TIA (BTW- I still have my first car, a early '71 914-4 and am restoring a '73 2.0- wonder how many original owner 914's are out there???) |

No cad plated ones, but if you're ok with silver, they are the cheapest. You can get zinc plated or stainless. You have to measure yours, but I believe they are M4. |

Thanks guys- I've gotten stuff from McMaster before for the race-car.
Boy, Matt, you get around!! Pat- I've seen your car over the years- very nice! I think Mike Robbins must be one of the oldest original owners with his black Speedster! |

In looking in my parts catalog (still have an original in a binder from the '70's) it is a M6X12 cheese head screw- but McMaster has 3 different pitchs- not sure how to tell which one!
Any ideas? |

Careful on the ones from McMaster, I bought them and the edges are rounded. I wound up buying mine from Jake Raby. Phillip |

Just got them from McMaster: 6X12 1mm pitch. Look great and tried one on the case and screwed in fine. Came in a bag of 50 so should last a while...
I could spend hours just looking through their "catalog" online... they have EVERYTHING |
