What are they called and where can I find a driver? Thanks John B. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 461 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 461 | Its called a "clutch head" screw, and the driver should be available at tool stores. Sometimes the screw is called "figure eight" head.

You can buy individually or in sets.

Not sure if they have them but it might be worth looking. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 397 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 397 | Clutch head is correct!

My follow up question is where can I buy these types of screws in stainless?? Have you tried any of the restoration places like Jim Carter, The Filling Station, etc? I've seen sets with specific uses and sold individually but I can't recall exactly where. | | |
