Is there any source for Canadian built Model A hardware. Do not care if it is nickel plated or not, just want it to look right. I have been using Phillips to replace the missing screws but not a good match.

I also have a Canadian Model A and have had no problem getting Robertson screws, Just search the normal Model A suppliers. Bill

I've found McFeely's to be the best source for Robertson screws.

Just saw what you are asking.
I’ve gotten all the Robertson screws from an outfit back east for my Canadian 31 Vicky.
Their name is Dixie Upholstery. Don’t have the address, but here is the phone number.
1-(519) 748-1648
They are a small family business I think.
Good luck.
Regards, Paul

I have used Bolt Depot. They have a lot of slotted screws in an assortment of materials.

I use Bolt Depot also. Great place to get various bolts and screws without having to buy in bulk like from McMaster-Carr.

I didn’t see any Robertson hardware tho.

I own an early 1928 tudor and have purchased many parts from Dixie Upholstery. They have packages already assembled containing screws etc. for the various Canadian model a bodies. Gene and helpers are always willing to give advise.
