Hey guys, I am having trouble finding some replacement tapered machine screws that attach the outside door handles on my ‘40 Olds to the latch mechanism. I’ve looked online to no avail. I’m not sure what they are called. I can find lots of door hardware but not these tapered screws. I can modify a regular machine screw, but I’d rather have the original replacements. I’ve got one, need three more. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated…
I suspect they may be the same as used in Chevrolets. take a look. https://iandireproduction.com/collections/outside-handles
EDIT: here is the screw info, so others can find it later, if needed and if the link changes. SS02 | 1933-48 SET SCREW for Outside Door Handles
2 bucks a screw, $16.98 for USPS priority shipping. Oh well, at least you guys helped me find them. Worth it to me…
