Re: install plastic bucket seat backs
I found the holes like you said with an awl and sharpie first.
Used a measuring tape on the second seat to help find holes. Also I used 2" stainless steel #8 screws. It made it easier to find the holes, & pull the back panel, in evenly. Eye balled it up so I could see the first two screws line up. It takes patience, time, hookers, drugs, alcohol helps also. Good luck, they look awesome when done. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00IZFWR30?...fed_asin_title |

Re: install plastic bucket seat backs
These are the correct seat back screws:
 I located these made by OEM supplier Auveco. #8 X 1-1/2" Phillips Oval #6 Head Screws Chrome Auveco part number 1424. On their main site it shows out of stock, but several located on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/31396374941...Bk9SR9i0lqOLZA https://www.ebay.com/itm/12111436623...Bk9SR4aRhZ6LZA Pic from another member:

Re: install plastic bucket seat backs
#6 screw would definitely be too small for my holes, maybe my holes have been abused over the years. lol

Re: install plastic bucket seat backs
Yes, but the grain is not exact to original. If buying them, I would replace in pairs so they match.
