Bucket seat side shield mounting screws needed

[commando1]

I used to own a hardware store. It would kill me when guys would come in and ask for 11 nails "just a 1/8" longer but a little skinnier"
"They come by the box"
"But I only need 11"
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhh..........

I have a feeling they are standard oval head sheet metal screws, no?

These are what I used for mine. I think there was two 3/4" in the front, one 11/4" in the side and one or two 3/4" at the rear... all #8.
Just use a small punch or allen wrench to determine the depth of the hole and add for screw thread penatration

Thats what I needed....size and length...and yes, that what she said!

You're going to only buy the exact number you need, aren't you. LMAO.

I'm drowning in things I bought in larger packages and always need something else I have to add.

I'm gaining inventory too. I'm not as organized as Stan. I have totes and parts in zip locks.

No, I will buy extras just in case you need a few....

They didnt used to. Used to be you went to the Hardware store and bought them by weight

What really sucks is when you get to the one screw hole that is stripped and you need one larger size screw, but have to buy a whole pack.

Seems there is always a need for things like trim screws. I them from Au-Ve-Co in boxes of 50 or 100.

YOU actually remember that?

 

[polara71]

Sure, plenty of hardware store did that into the 80's

 

[1978 NYB]

I remember that.......and getting them in brown paper bags.

 

[polara71]

Yup, little lunch bags or smaller, like the ones the size the penny candy store had

I can remember getting candy as a kid in little white paper bags from the candy store.

 

[polara71]

I used to go in and pick out what I wanted from the jars and the candy would go into a bag. Whip licorice and swedish fish..... in colors

I remember .10 cokes and .25 cigaretts in vending machines and dollar drive-ins.

I bought them like that in the 60's!

Cokes were still a dime out of the vending machines on base when I was in the Army in 1976.

Everything is cheaper on base....this was in the late 50's at a mom and pops store.
