I need to replace about 12 of the 5/16" x 24 x 3/8" long screws that I had to drill out when I started this project. These are the screws that attach the hinge plate to the door. Each door takes 9 of these. I have tryed Copperstate, Hardware Metal Specialties, McMaster Carr, and several locals. I think its called a Recessed Oval Head Screw. Any ideas where they could be found? I'm good with used ones if there not all chewed up. The only other option is to drill them all larger and tap the hinge to a larger size. I really didn't want to do that. Advice please, thanks Tom | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I have a Fastenal catalog at the shop. I can look them up tomorrow.

I would like to stay with a single slot head if possible for originallity. I don't think they made Alan Head Cap Screws back in the 30's. Thanks for the try though.

Have you checked with Jim Carters. They have a lot of parts for the 30"s trucks.

I know they were a "son of a gun" to remove. Unfortunately I had to drill out about 1/2 of them. I will try Carters, but last time I called them about some misc. hardware they couldn't help me. Thanks Mike for the pics. Maybe someone will recognize and advise accordingly. Tom | | |
