I'm not near my car to check, but I seem to remember that those are 12-24 (Henry loved those). Sorry, I don't recall how long.

Ed are you asking about the wood screws that screw into the wooden header? Make sure that the head fits the counter sink in the hinge before installing. If new wood header, use some soap, candle wax, bees wax on the threads in a predrilled hole. Probably #12 or #10 screws. If a screw gets tight before it is set, Don't snap the head off the screw, thats a hard place to work!

the screws in the top windshield hinge on the Victoria ARE #12 X 1" round head slotted screws.
