That's what I was afraid you were referring to. I know of no one that is reproducing the hex/clutch combo screws for the data plate. In all the years I've been following ebay for parts I've seen one set of screws offered for sale. I told the body shop that did the work on my car that if he lost those screws all of his work was free. He did a great job AND I got my screws back. I suppose if you were really meticulous you could take a small clutch head screw and machine it down to the small hex head. YOU would know it's not right but likely no one else would.

Those are clutch head screws but they aren't correct for the data plate. Those are special screws that are both hex and clutch head. <CLICK>

Well I can say I have thought of doing that from a clutch head screw and frankly I don't care if someone notices  . It will be tedious, understand but that looks like my only choice. Does anyone know the size if the hex head? I would think 1/4" but????? I know I'm being a pain  but I really appreciate your time and responses

Are they the same as the screws in the trucks? Those are also clutch head with a 1/4" hex. Jim Carter has them listed but I'm not sure they are available yet. Link to Jim Carter Truck Parts I may have a spare set from a truck as well.

By golly that looks like them from the pic they posted! At $8.75 a pair it's a bargain. Thanks for the link.

I just ordered them. All I could do was a picture comparison which looked like they were identical. $5+ to ship two screws seemed a pit pricey. Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know if they are correct when they show up.
