Is there a screw chart available that gives locations and size/length of all the screws for a Model A? I have a 1930 Cabriolet and working on switching all the Phillips screws that were used during the 70s restoration.
I purchased the interior trim screws from Snyder's #1013 but all I got were the screws, no schematics. The Sill Plates take 11 screws on each side and I think they are supposed to be 3/4" long but there are not enough of the 3/4" screws included. There are more than enough 1" screws but look to big so not sure if two different screw sized were used for outside/inside row or what?

Well after researching the catalog I decided to go onto Snyder's website and look up the Cabriolet Sill Plates and see if it gave a recommendation and a set of (40) 46480-S was the recommendation. The sill plate screws must not be included with the interior screws because none that I have look like the picture.

Does Snyder's give the specifications for the sill plate screws?

Ford had parts lists for the bodies made by them but the Briggs made bodies may be a different story. MAFCA has a Cabriolet Club as a sub group that has as many as 200 members.

There are several Cabby owners that frequent this site so hopefully they can help. Volume 6 of the Restorer Series of books only has the 68C information but there are no lists of body hardware. The 68 A & B are different so it may not help for those. They are mostly wood in structure where Ford made car bodies have a lot less wood and more steel.

Snyder's does not list the size or length of the Cabriolet sill plate screws, and they are not specifically for the Cabriolet. The screws that pop up when you pull up the Cabriolet sills specify, "for all but Coupes, Tudors and Open Cars.

Get a copy of Ford's Automotive Hardware & Trimming Supplies 1928-1938. Using a highlight marker, go through the book and mark each hardware item that is noted as applicable to the 68B.
