What size is this screw?
I'm in the process of installing a temp gauge in the 29 Coupe. I bought the gauge bracket that uses the 2 mounting screws on the bottom of the dash panel. One of the srews is missing. What size are these screws? Are they available at the corner hardware store or am I going to have to go with a vendor? Thanks, Smitty

Smitty, it's been my experience that the two bottom dash screw holes on the '28-mid'30 style dash, if it's a repop. don't want to line up very well. At best you can get maybe one screw in. Probably why you are missing one of them.

I thought about that. I took the one bottom one out and had to loosen the top 2 screws to get it in the other hole. I'll take it to the hardware store tomorrow and check and see what they have. Thanks, guys!

I have a hard time finding Oval head SLOTTED screws around here. I get them from McMaster-Carr. Unfortunately you have to buy them in BULK. Share with your friends
