How about the countersunk screws which attach the inner panel? Is clutch head correct? Or Phillips? I've seen both.
I have come across countersunk screws for the inner panel in 2 different sizes. A 55 parts truck had smaller screws than my 57. I just drilled and retapped the holes in the door to match my larger screws. I've found the larger ones on several doors.
