CraigB Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 108 Houston, Texas	I got an email asking for detailed specs of the screws. Here is what I responded: I have the original screws that I removed 25 years ago. The tag and the screws were in a baggie in the glove box... I have to thank my 30 year old self... for being that careful! Just pulled one of the screws and best as my eyes can make out.... The screw is .125 dia in the threads Overall length is .275 Thread length is .175 and thus the head lengh is .1 The threads are so small that without a magnifying glass I have to admit my eyes cant quite be 100% sure but best I can tell I think the thread count is 38 Threads per inch. The head is on a bevel. IE the tag has a counter sink that the screw fits into. Hope that helps! Craig
