Title: Re: Arm Rest Screws Post by: zulu on February 22, 2011, 03:35:52 PM FE 4 ME Not 100% sure but may have seen these in rares the other day, could have been for a later H series car but looked the same Gary Title: Re: Arm Rest Screws Post by: FE 4 ME on February 22, 2011, 05:21:22 PM Cheers but i've already called them and they really couldnt give me too much info, all they said was they have HK screws ( and a code number ) and think they should fit...but didnt have the size and gauge of the screws
so could anyone just give me the size and gauge of the screws and im sure i could pick them up somewhere I assume they would be close to 1 1/2" long and approx 10 gauge ?? but i would prefer to hear from someone who knows exactly not by my approx. your help would be great please also check out my post on reproduction forum regarding what restores_Paradise rubber kits are like ?? thankx My Holden Mates Title: Re: Arm Rest Screws Post by: Stewy on February 22, 2011, 05:24:03 PM Hi,
In the parts book they are called No. 14---10 x 2" cr. rec. type "A" (round head) part # is 161745 i think the cr. rec. stands for cross recess tapp.type "A" means that it has a point So all in all a 10 guage 2" self tapping round head screw should do the job. hope this helps Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Arm Rest Screws Post by: FE 4 ME on February 22, 2011, 05:29:17 PM Thankx Stewy your info has made life so much easier, im glad 4 screws wouldnt stump me ( or us ) hehehe ! :o
