Technical Where to buy garnish molding screws?

I'm wondering who might know what size the garnish molding screws are for a '40 Ford, and where to purchase them also. The originals were thrown away a few years ago when I took the car apart and now of course I can't remember where I put them. Thanks for any help.

 

Try Ace Hardware. They have an amazing ***ortment of screws in chrome and stainless with the correct head.

Ace is the place,,and they have stainless. HRP

 

complete screw kits are available for 40's and Ace as well as others have said.

 

Most garnish molding screws are #8 screw with #6 head and I believe are called Jackson Head screws. Most auto upholstery/trim shops should have them. You don't necessarily need the Jackson Head type but they seat down in the molding hole better.

 

I have never heard of Jackson head screws, what does it look like. Most of the interior trim screws that I am familiar with are called Oval head screws. Check with McMaster Carr, they have any screw you can want. I buy them in bulk and save a lot of money.

 

Jackson head..Also known as Oval head

 

The ones with the smaller heads are called trim head screws. I usually get regular stainless oval head #8 x 1-1/2". If you need the trim head they are available from AuVeCo. http://www.miamicorp.com/default.aspx?page=item+detail&itemcode=AU1932&catlist=446

 

#8 oval head SS work perfect, and like others have said ACE is the place...

 

Roy Nacewicz is hard to beat for correct Ford hardware and parts.

Oval head screws are the correct ones to use, but in the '40s, only straight slotted screws were available, not phillips.
Again, McMaster-Carr or other on-line suppliers should have 'em.

 

Thanks everyone for the replies. Looks like Ace is truly the place.

This place will ship directly to your home. I use this place all the time for fasteners. Saves so much time and they have no minimum $ order

 

^^^^ Exactly.

Size, take a molding in find a screw that fits the molding well (countersink and diameter) that is probably going to be the right size.

 

Thats the ticket right there! I hadn't thought of ordering from McMaster. Might have to stock up on some "standard" lengths.

 

I buy all of my Garnish Screws, Trim Clips, Door Panel Clips, etc. from perfect fit (they are made by Au-Ve-Co):
