1970 Arm Rest Screws
 

Anybody know what size screws I need to attach the arm rests to my doors. It's a 1970 C/10 with the base model metal door panels. I took them off a while back and misplaced two of the screws. I tried to thread one of my original screws into one of those nut and bolt size finder dodads but it didn't fit anything. It would catch about 2 threads in the 1/4-28 but that's it. It wouldn't thread into the 1/4-20 at all.

These are the arm rests and original screw I'm talking about.

1/4 -20 x 1"-1 1/4" They weren't using any of those "new fangled" metric bolts back then . :smoke:

Don't use any slot head screws! I just took apart a door that somebody put them in. It was very hard to remove them.

Good info. Yeah I can see how that might make it tougher. I’m going to try and find some as close to original as possible.
