Topic: Fastback Vent Slides: Attaching hardware (screws) ID help, please?

[Angela]

Guys, I seem to have made a huge mistake and misplaced the screws that attach the vent sides (chrome) to the plastic vent assemblies. Therefore, I don't even know what screws I am looking for. Attached below is a picture of a pair of repro vent slides and screws which should help convey the screws I am looking for. Can anyone comment or provide a picture of what the original type screws look like? Where can I obtain these screws? I don't see them listed, but does AMK sell them? Are they machine screws or more like self-tapping sheet metal screws? phosphate? Zinc? Washer head type? Help? :-)

See if this don't help. A picture is worth a thousand words; this drawing is worth more because it has part numbers.

Thanks Jim! Yes, part number 355067-S7 represents one of the two screws I'm looking for. Now I just have to figure out what the finish of that fastener is and try to track some down. Is "S7" the finish code?

I found one of these screws still threaded into a spare chrome slider I had laying around. It's a 10-16 tapping screw, 0.750" long with a hex washer head (5/16" across flats). Looking inside the holes of the chrome slider, it does appear the threads were cut with tapping screws, not machine screw threads. Can anyone confirm this is correct?

.......... Is "S7" the finish code?

Guess we should post a list of all the finishes and codes in the Library
