I am looking for a slotted screw that resembles the factory screws that hold the curved panel at the rear most of the subframe to the floor ! What are you guys using ? I have the square nuts but everything I find in the screw dept looks to new/ off. Thanks for the help guys !

anything that gets taken off a car gets saved in my shop . Old bolts and fasteners are priceless in my book !

Hey Flop. I have used this place before. They show one similar to yours. Maybe give them a call and inquire about your needs. Good luck. Mark.

Flop, your attention to detail is very impressive! I'm not sure the screws you are looking for are the same as the ones I removed from that area of my '30 Roadster, but they looked just like the gas tank to cowl screws. Best wishes, Bob

If your talking about the ones that hold the curve panel to the trunk riser I used license plate screws. Head seemed to have a lower shape than round head machine screws.

Tom, I assume this is for my Roadster? :-)

Not sure what size we're after, but have you tried McMaster-Carr yet?

It's been my experience that they have just about everything.

I am going on what was on mine back when...I believe they were slotted oval heads for sure. You might need to machine the underneath of the oval head down some to fit in body panel nicely. The TRESS slotted head ,,that i know of is used only on the Model "A" open cars [ roadster / phaeton] end of DASH RAIL.[1 each per side.]You need to find a machinist to make these because no one makes it in repro... Doc. K made a run of these some time ago. Like 5 years or so.
